French term

accueil permanent

French to English Other Real Estate student housing
From a description of a student residence hall:

Un parking clos est à votre disposition ainsi qu'un accueil permanent.

My first thought was that it meant that reception was open 24-hours, but this being France, it seem highly unlikely.

Any ideas?

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.

I side with you Simon, no other formulation is necessary (or better for that matter ) you should make an entry

"but this being France, it seem highly unlikely" LOL - actually even in France we do find "residences etudiantes" with a 24 hr recep. :-)
it all depends on your loyer - some residences are quite nice - and very expensive!

It’s correct. 24-hours reception on duty.
