Finding your way around any new town means looking out for signs that you may not be familiar with, and doing it in a new language means really paying attention! Here are some common signs and French words for those essential activities we do when traveling through a town or city.

| Pedestrian zone | La zone piétone |
| Stop! | Arrêtez! |
| By bus | Par autobus |
| By car | Par voiture |
| By train | Par train |
| On foot | À pied |
| To park the car | Garer la voiture |
| Where can I park around here? | Où peut on se garer par ici? |

| Warning! | Attention! |
And my favorite, which seen in many French towns, always manages to confuse foreigners (even more)….
| All directions | Toutes directions |
It really means “anywhere other than town”!
In the next newsletter we look at the special foods that come from the different regions and provinces of France!
À très bientôt!
