Génial ! Il y a quelques jours je me demandais précisément comment s'appelait cette zone du dos de la main à la confluence du pouce et de majeur. Merci!

neutral Daryo : you forgot the "langage médical" part of the question; i.e. "snuff box" as used in medecine (in this case anatomy) as opposed to "snuff box" as used in general conversation

Snuff is for nose intake, not for smoking.

Reference:

The anatomical snuffbox

The anatomical snuffbox is a triangular deepening on the radial, dorsal aspect of the hand—at the level of the carpal bones, specifically, the scaphoid and trapezium bones forming the floor.
The name originates from the use of this surface for placing and then sniffing powdered tobacco, or “snuff.”
Note from asker:
Yes the scaphoid is mentioned too in my text.
