Be ready for your next trip to France!<\/p>\n

While most waiters, bartenders and hotel staff\u00a0in France will do their best to help you out in English, it’s always good to know some French to truly enjoy\u00a0our beautiful country!<\/p>\n

From the basics of “Bonjour” and “Merci” to the ever-important “O\u00f9 est la boulangerie la plus proche, s’il vous plait?” (Where is the closest bakery, please?)<\/em>, here are just a few useful expressions to remember:<\/p>\n

Where is the rental car desk, please? O\u00f9 se trouve la location de voitures, s’il vous plait?<\/em><\/p>\n

Which train goes to (Paris)? At what time?\u00a0Quel train se dirige vers (Paris)? A quelle heure?<\/em><\/p>\n

What time is breakfast served? A quelle heure le petit\u00a0d\u00e9jeuner\u00a0est-il servi?<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll have a coffee, please. Un\u00a0caf\u00e9, s’il vous plait.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m looking for the tourist information office. Je cherche l’office du tourisme.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll have a glass of Burgundy wine, please. Je vais prendre un verre de vin de Bourgogne, s’il vous plait. (this is really the only one you need to know about!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Red or white? Rouge ou blanc?<\/em><\/p>\n

Ready to go? Check out this article<\/a> or send us a note if you\u00a0can’t find what you have in mind!<\/p>\n
