BEFOREHAND

Avant l'heure, c'est pas l'heure!
When you say it's fifteen til, it's fifteen til! Notice the screw substituted for a foot of this 19th-century alarm clock on display in the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaires de Lavaudieu.  Nestled in the Haute-Loire in the Auvergne,  Lavaudieu is ranked among the most beautiful villages of France.

Vocabulary
au préalable, à l'avance:  beforehand
un réveil:  an alarm clock
réveiller:  to wake up
