Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
bons plans
English translation:
great ideas
French term
bons plans
First on a page with promotional offers listing all included type holidays.
It comes up again on another page where you are given ideas for walks and the suggestion of a holiday package including a tour of the area in question.
I've thought of "ideas" and "suggestions", but I'm not sure they get the meaning across.
So once again... I'm brainstorming.
P.S.: brainstorming is no longer acceptable according to The Week
'Tunbridge Wells Borough Council has banned the word "brain-storming" from use in meetings, in case it causes offence to epileptics and the mentally unstable. "We take diversity awareness very seriously", said a council spokesman. "Staff have been asked to use the term "thought showers" instead.'
That's a new term that should create some confusion when translated!

Non-PRO (1): Julie Barber
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

| Lots of great suggestions here. I toyed with "We recommend" or "Our recommendations" for a while, but felt Graham's answer hit it on the nail. Thanks |
