Mademoiselles will exist no more.

The term mademoiselle may be a thing of the past.

I’ve always rather liked the term mademoiselle, the French rather chic equivalent of Miss.

In order to simplify the huge numbers of forms that the French authorities require, it has been suggested that the mademoiselle ‘tick’ box is eliminated, so all women become Madame regardless of age or marital status.

I am not quite sure by how much, removing one small box from the very long and complicated French forms will simplify the bureaucratic process…
