It's funny/sad how when you first get here and do not know any of the language, you think certain words mean things based on a very similar English word. Like "espace" for example. For the first month or so, I thought we lived in an area called "Espace St. George" because they were trying to make the front of the shopping mall look like a space ship...Toulouse being a big space/aviation town as it is. But come to find out it just means like an "area"
