Réchauffons

Réchauffons is the first-person plural present tense form of the French verb réchauffer. In practice, it functions as a call to collective action in slogans or campaign titles, roughly meaning “let us warm up.” It is used metaphorically in political, social, or cultural contexts rather than as a literal instruction to heat something.

Etymology and form: Réchauffer means to heat or to warm up. The form réchauffons appears when the subject is “we,” creating an exhortation in slogans or petitions. It should not be confused with the noun réchauffement, which denotes warming, especially of the climate, or with réchauffe, a verb form meaning “he/she warms” or the imperative form in certain constructions.

Usage and context: In climate and energy discourse, phrases beginning with réchauffons are used to mobilize collective action toward economic revival, urban renewal, social solidarity, or environmental policy. Examples include “Réchauffons l’économie,” “Réchauffons nos territoires,” or “Réchauffons les liens communautaires.” In media and branding, the term commonly appears as part of a broader slogan rather than as a standalone proper noun.
