Homophones in french

Bonjour à tous!

Homophones are words that sound the same but have a different spelling or meaning or both.
You may agree that French can be a tricky language, so of course we do have lots of those!
Here are a few examples : 

[bazilik]
Basilic : Basil
Basilique : Basilica

[amɑ̃d]
Amende : Fine
Amande : Almond 

[ʃɑ̃]
Champ : Field 
Chant : Song 

[difeʀɑ̃]
Différend : Dispute
Différent : Different

[fwa]
Fois : Time
Foie : Liver
Foi : Faith
