Is it Bombur? This is just a guess, without going to the books!

Lucky guess!
Going along with The Hobbit, what does Tolkien tell us is the one fault of Thranduil's people, the Woodelves?

je crois avoir trouvé une explication dans les ''contes et légendes inachevés: le pays de Thranduil était dévasté et son peuple s'est réfugié dans les foréts où il fit creuser de grandes galeries. ETC...Suis-je sur la bonne voie?

I suppose that could be seen as a fault, Michka, but the fault I have in mind is right from the narrator's voice in The Hobbit.

Je n'ai pas trouvé dans ma version de ''Bilbo'' en français, peut-être n'est-elle pas identique à l'édition anglaise? Mais j'ai découvert une explication dans le livre des Elfes, je la soumets: ''Le roi Orepher' ,père de Thranduil ,a repoussé les frontières de son royaume annexant une grande partie de la Forêt; et la décision de Thranduil de se joindre à la Dernière Alliance a coûté très cher aux Elfes Sylvains''. Réponse correcte?

Joining the Last Alliance was a dangerous action for the Elves, but I'm not sure I would call it a fault. Without the Elves there, would there have been any hope of even a temporary victory against Sauron?
I apologize: I think my question was too precise! The answer I'm looking for comes at the end of the 'Flies and Spiders' chapter, in which the narrative says, "If they have a fault, it is . . .".

oui, Merry, ''S'il avait une faiblesse c'était d'amasser des trésors et il était toujours avide de richesses,surtout en argent et gemmes blanches, accroître son magot pour égaler celui des seigneurs elfes de l'ancien temps'' etc...Ai-je bien répondu cette fois?

Sorry to have been away so long! You get the point on this one, Michka, since I think I asked a bad question! It appears there is more than one answer to the question, but the quote on which I based the question was that Thranduil's one fault was mistrust of strangers. It appears that he had more than one fault!

Comment s'appelle l'éminence ( la pointe) dans un endroit au sud de la montagne de la Désolation du Dragon?

I don't know the answer, but I can translate:
What is the peak in the place south of the mountain of the Desolation of Smaug called?
Time to look at a map!

Oh, no: as I read the thread above, it seems I broke a promise! Apologies, Michka! I still don't know the answer (I'm terrible at map reading 
), but I have a nice new question for the season:
Where was Bilbo during Yule of 2941?
