Usage Note

Agrément has two distinct registers: in formal or administrative French it means official approval or consent (e.g., agrément ministériel), while in everyday language it refers to the pleasures or amenities of a place — les agréments de la vie are life's pleasures. The verb agréer is related but now largely confined to formal letter closings (veuillez agréer...).

Examples

"Ce jardin offre de nombreux agréments."
