Fascinating Fact:

“Le billet” is a ticket, and it can be used for train, bus, or plane tickets depending on context.

In GCSE Fast French, travel nouns support key exam themes like holidays, transport, and planning trips. This vocabulary helps you ask for information, understand timetables, and describe journeys using common prepositions and phrases for time and place.

  • Transport: Ways of travelling, such as train, bus, car, or plane, and the words linked to them.
  • Réservation: A booking, for example a seat, room, or journey you arrange in advance.
  • Préposition de lieu: A place word like “à”, “dans”, or “près de” that helps you say where something is or where you are going.
How do I ask for directions in French for GCSE travel topics?

You can start with a polite question and a place noun, such as “Où est… ?” or “Comment aller à… ?”. Then listen for location words like “à gauche”, “tout droit”, and “près de”.

What GCSE French travel vocabulary should I learn first?

Begin with transport, places, and basic travel actions, such as station, airport, platform, passport, suitcase, and simple verbs like “aller” and “prendre”. These appear often in speaking, reading, and writing tasks.

How can I use travel nouns in GCSE French writing?

Use the noun with an accurate article, add a time phrase, and include a reason or opinion. This helps you create clear sentences about planning, travelling, problems, and what you did on a trip.
