Places & Destinations

At the airport, at the station, in the city center: location words are the first vocabulary you need when traveling in France. This quiz covers five essential French place words, matching aéroport, gare, terminal, ville, and destination to their English equivalents.

One word that stands out: gare is the distinctly French word for a train station, and you will see it everywhere from Paris to Marseille. Paris alone has six major gares, each serving a different region of the country.
