Bonjour,
Ton commentaire assez laconique me fait penser irrésistiblement à l'expression "mener grand train", autrement dit, "vivre luxueusement". Généralement, les divas, ça mène grand train, non ?  |

Hi,
I've heard this in Friends ;o) I'm not sure there is a set expression for this in French... here's a few possibility to translate the meaning: she's high maintenance -> elle a constamment besoin qu'on s'occupe d'elle -> elle est très capricieuse, -> elle réclame une attention constante -> elle exige beaucoup d'attention .... |
