Mlle. Fournier

1 answer

In French, you would typically use "vous" when addressing Mlle. Fournier, as it is a more formal and polite way to speak to someone you do not know well or who holds a certain level of authority or respect. "Tu" is used in informal contexts, typically with friends or people of the same age or younger. Since "Mlle." (short for "Mademoiselle") indicates that she is a woman, using "vous" is the appropriate choice unless you have a very familiar relationship with her.
