Autumn – l'automne

(Pronounced awt-on)

To remember that Autumn is pronounced awt-on (automne) in French, use the following mnemonic:

Someone in the autumn of their life should be caught on (automne) camera behaving like this!

Automne is masculine, but it begins with a vowel, so it's l'automne. Imagine our early learner getting blown off his feet in the autumn wind.
