I think this could be a regional difference in English, but unless 'South of France' is a specific region, it does not need a capital S in English either (at least not in Australian English). It is unnecessarily misleading as it is currently written, as the French does not capitalise the S either.

with plurals, de becomes des.....Why isn't it "Nous ne faisons pas partie DES amis" as "ses amis" is plural? But then I guess that would apply to "de les amis", so what's going on here?

Les feuilles oranges?In week 81 of the A2 writing challenge, there is a canonical translation "les feuilles rouges, jaunes et oranges". Why does "orange" have the -s suffix? I thought it was a color derived from a real thing and as such, it doesn't change.

Will "Il est dix à sept heures du matin' a valid translation for " It is ten to seven A.M."?

Doing something in a specific evening

How about "in the evening" or "in the morning" as a one-time event? I understand that if one does something every evening the term is "le soir" (Tu ne lis que le soir). But what if I'm referring to a specific evening, for example: On est partis tôt et on est arrivés à la maison (in the evening). While I'm asking, how would one modify that to express "early in the evening."
