    Madame vs. mademoiselle: Which one to choose

    Madame or Mademoiselle? Every French learner has encountered this question when wondering how to address a woman in France. Meaning “Miss,” Mademoiselle is used to address unmarried women while madame, meaning “Mrs.,” is used to address married women.

    But, like any language, French is always evolving. French slang is one way new words appear in the language, but there are times when old words fall out of style. And mademoiselle is a perfect example of that.

Usually used to address a woman of higher status, the title, mademoiselle, might have even been coveted by French women at some point in time.
