Postcards from Paris June 2012 - Eiffel Tower (image)I’m writing to you from Paris!

Hi, this is Teena, and how lucky I feel to be back in the city I love, catching up with old friends (from when I lived here), meeting clients, making new friends – I’m having a great time so far, and I’m only half way through my five and a half weeks :-)

Today’s quick video Newsletter is about :

  • my walk along the gorgeous rue Montorgueil
  • posts I’ve written since I’ve been here
  • and some questions and answers from the website.

Don’t forget to grab an espresso, latte, chocolat chaud, thé, cold drink, whatever you feel like, and let’s jump in :-)

Postcards from Paris Questions & Answers with Teena Hughes (image)

Question about Paris

  • Sheila asks, “What does “bis” mean in an address in Paris?”

Excellent question Sheila! I didn’t know the answer to this, so I did some research.

What I found is that “bis” stand for “A” after a street number, for example:

  • “12 bis” rue St Antoine, means there’s already a number 12, so this is “12A”

 

Today’s Useful French

French words in the Metro

Some of these phrases might come in handy while you’re in the Metro:

  • “Ou est le guichet, s’il vous plait ?” / “Where’s the ticket office, please?”
  • “Ou est la Sortie, s’il vous plait ?” / “Where’s the exit, please?”
  • “Un carnet, s’il vous plait ?” / “10 tickets, please.” (Same tickets can be used on bus and Metro.)
  • Note:  When I write SVP, it stands for “s’il vous plait“/”please” (and is shorter to write, you’ll see it everywhere)
  • and always remember to be polite: “Je voudrais …” / “I would like …” (more polite than “I want”)
  • always say “thank you”, “Merci beaucoup!”
