Saying Where You Are Staying

Another important part of conversation you may need when you first start talking to someone (especially if you are foreign and visiting France) is how to say where you live, or where you are staying.

To say where you live, You say “Je vis…” This is “I live…”

Another thing you might like to say is where about you live. For example, an apartment or a house. To do this, you say “On habite dans un appartement”.

To say “I live alone” you would say “Je vis seul”. Or if you are a woman, you would say “Je vis seule”.

Something you may find more useful if you’re visiting France on a holiday, is to say where you are staying.
