 feu in "feu votre père" --  where else would the [feu]  go?
            Maybe it's from a rule like this:
   In French, adjectives that typically go before the noun (modified noun) can be categorized with the acronym BANGS which stands for:
 Beauty (Beauté):  Adjectives describing beauty or aesthetics often come before.
                 Ex: Une belle robe (A beautiful dress)
  Age (Âge):  Adjectives related to age usually precede the noun.
                   Ex: Un jeune homme (A young man)
  Number (Nombre):  Ordinal and cardinal numbers (first, second, three) generally come before.
               Ex: La deuxième porte (The second door) /
                   Trois chats (Three cats)
  Goodness (Qualité):  Adjectives expressing positive or negative qualities often go before.
                Ex: Une bonne idée (A good idea) /
                   Un mauvais comportement (Bad behavior)
  Size (Taille):  Adjectives describing size typically precede the noun.
                  Ex: Une petite maison (A small house)
Both BANGS adjectives  go before the noun:  ( Une belle petite fille )
                       ( Une robe rouge élégante )
                       ( Une élégante robe rouge )
What other  Acronyms (Mnemonics) are  common  for beginning French students?
