Just as it’s the case in English, the French expression demander la lune <\/em><\/strong>means “to ask for the moon<\/strong>“, “to ask for too much”; “to ask for something impossible or nearly impossible to get.”<\/p>\n Now imagine if people\u00a0demandaient la lune\u00a0\u00e0 la lune elle-m\u00eame <\/em><\/strong>(asked the moon itself for the moon), how often can they get what they want?<\/p>\n The tempting answer would probably be: “once in a blue moon<\/span>“!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
