due à or dûe à ?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this should be , "dûe à" , not "due à"

I have a feeling both spellings are accepted ?

Comments anyone ?

Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul,

This is an interesting little point which I had to check myself and it is correct as the word it refers to is feminine (la réminiscence), so no accent is required.

Take a look at the following page with more information -

Hope you enjoy reading it.

« “Il ne fait pas de tout” vs “ il ne fait rien”. The second is “correct.” Why is the first incorrect?Would this be passé composé or imparfait? »
