How do you say chores in french?

Household chores is translated 'les tâches ménagères' in French. Part of the household chores is 'Faire le ménage' when limited to sweeping, tidying the rooms. A most unpleasant chore (that you resent doing) is called 'une corvée' (anything that you have to do, but really dislike may also be une corvée).
