My comment:

Il faudrait que cela soit déjà correct en français..... c'est "des lieues à la ronde"' . La lieue étant une ancienne mesure gauloise : lieue (de latin leuga, emprunté au gaulois) est une unité de longueur anciennement utilisée en Europe et en Amérique latine. Selon la région, elle correspond à 3.400 km à 4.200 km....environ (voir sur l'Internet)
