Is "Il va leur téléphoner." the same as " Il va téléphoner à eux."?

In other words, can a sentence written with indirect object pronouns be replaced by one with stress pronouns?

"long/longue" coming before nouns -- This is tough to remember as an English speaker, since I am so familiar with a "chaise longue" -- is this the major exception to the rule that "long" generally comes before a noun? I see Aurelie's distinction that adjectives before nouns can be figurative and those after descriptive... but calling a chair "long" doesn't seem any more descriptive than calling a path "long," and yet from the lesson the long path is "le long chemin."

Un ami m'a écrit que quand on utilise l'expression "bien à vous" à la fin d'un email ça n'est pas écrit par une femme à un homme. On dit "Une femme n'écrit pas "'bien à vous" a un homme, une femme n'envoie pas ses "sentiments" à un homme." Qu'en pensez-vous ? Quelle est la règle grammaticale appropriée ?

Aller vs partir

In 1969, we went to conquer the moon. I wrote on est allés but was marked wrong for not using parti when another lesson used on est allés for “we went” so I’m confused and the lesson is about agreement with on. Doesn’t explain why parti is right and allés is wrong. Also, I don’t get email notifications so don’t see any answers to questions unless I happen to run across it elsewhere. Help! Thanks.
