agree  Jean-Luc Dumont: An invitation to treat is to be distinguished from an offer as it merely indicates a willingness to deal but does not display an intention to be bound.

Explanation:
Gilles,

Vous avez raison. C'est bien cela. En France, cette phrase vaut bien celle que veut Sylvie.

Au Canada, "invitation à traiter" semble très répandu.

INVITATION TO TREAT
General rule
An offer to contract is a proposal which contains all the essential elements of the proposed contract and in which the offeror signifies his willingness to be bound if it is accepted. An invitation to treat is less than an offer and it is intended to elicit an offer to contract

L'INVITATION À TRAITER
Règle générale
L’offre de contracter est une proposition qui renferme tous les éléments essentiels du contrat projeté et dans laquelle l’offrant manifeste sa volonté d’être lié si son offre est acceptée. L’invitation à traiter est moins qu’une offre et vise à amener vers une offre de contracter.
