Ma puce - slightly weirdly, this translates as 'my flea' (as in les marché aux puces - fleamarkets - that are common in French towns and cities). Mon bébé - it's the French version of 'baby' or 'babe'. Minou / mon chaton - Two terms of endearment that both refer to kitty or pussy cat. Photo: Miriam Mezzera/FlickrMon petit chou - this is often cited as a 'typical' French term of endearment by English speakers, but in fact it's pretty rarely heard in France these days. It can be used to men or women, the female version is ma pote.
