C'est correct.

Hi, sounds ridiculous but I could not remember today how to write an historic date out in full in French, for example

'in seventeen hundred and sixty three'

should it be

'dans l'annee dix sept cent soixante trois'

 

[Johanne]

Tout simplement "en mille sept cent soixante trois".

Dix sept cent se dit à l'oral seulement, je crois.

Hello,

C'est "en mille sept cent soixante trois" as Johanne said.

I could write "en dix sept cent soixante trois", it's fine by me but used solely for dates (written or spoken).

Cheers
