Michel A. Dec 15, 2004:
writeaway's right a mezzanine is not a loft (you may have a mezzanine in any flat which has walls high enough - like an inside balcony - ) though a loft/soupente is usually under the roof of the house (last storey)
writeaway Dec 15, 2004:
the answer may be from Hachette but other dicos give the same thing.who said a mezzanine was a loft?Don't you have any way to research this yourself-you can see the perils of only relying on others.A mezzanine is not a loft.it's a mezzanine in English too
Non-ProZ.com Dec 15, 2004:
Loft? How can it be a loft when a mezzanine is a loft? It says "mezzanine avec 1 lit double et deux lits jumeaux dans la soupente"... so you are saying its a loft with 1 double bed and two twin beds in the loft? Please clarify... I don't see how that works?
