Á la recherche du science perdú! Aka “The Sound Of Silence”.
Wait, an accent on the U? I thought the participle of perdre was just perdu. Typo? Or does that accent actually have done significance here?
The correct phrase is « à la recherche de la science perdue »
Ah, merci ! I also didn’t realise that it would be conjugated to agree with “la”.
Oops, typo. My first language is Spanish, I assumed there was an accent at the end.
