the French word "une étoile" means a star.

"étoile" tends to indicate celestial bodies while the English word "star" has now replaced it to speak of celebrities - except in the expression "étoile montante"

"l'étoile montante du tennis" = the up and coming / rising tennis star

"la place de l'étoile" : a location in Paris, where the layout of the roads spreading away from the Arc de Triomphe suggests the branches of a star.
