I've got that, Chris!
I wasn't sure if allowed to give it?

In that clue , "comment" means "how", Pigale!

Sorry, I think I missed the point!

How's it going down the Champs Elisees could indeed be translated as
Comment cela va-t-il aux (or 'sur les') Champs Elysees.

or, in common spoken French

Comment ca va sur les Champs? (With a cedilla of course!)

It's fine to give it, elle - as I said, it was last week's.

The solution is CAVA, pigale. I'm thinking that a French person is much more likely to ask "Ca va?" rather than "Comment ca va?" Is this right?

PS I was initially looking at the word 'comment' in the English question!

Comment ca va?
How are you? (how goes ))t? minus the "comment" - giving answer "ca va"

Sorry I cannot do cedillas!

Yes, you are right, 'Ca va sur les champs?' would be well used in common spoken french, but 'comment ca va ...' is also commonly used.

ie - Comment ca va sur les Champs? Ca se passe bien?

Basically, they are both in use!

Again, to use Elle's example, Ca va? as a question meaning 'comment ca va?' is common, but both questions are in everyday usage - It depends on one's own way of speaking and to whom the question is addressed. I would never have said just 'ca va?' to my boss!

Hi, Pigale!
Thank you for endorsing my explanation of " son et lumiere".
I have seen pictures but have never been to an event.
I am told it is very beautiful!
And of course, the music must add to the mystique.

Thanks pigale and elle
