Bonjour madame, bienvenue dans votre chambre. La télécommande est sur le bureau, à côté de la carte magnétique. Vous pouvez poser votre valise sur le porte-bagages, près de l’armoire. La serviette est dans la salle de bains. Pour lire au lit, allumez la lampe sur la table de chevet. Vous pouvez fermer les rideaux le soir. Si vous cherchez un autre objet, appelez la réception. Nous vous souhaitons un bon séjour.
Hello madam, welcome to your room. The remote control is on the desk, next to the key card. You can put your suitcase on the luggage rack, near the wardrobe. The towel is in the bathroom. To read in bed, switch on the lamp on the bedside table. You can close the curtains in the evening. If you are looking for another item, call reception. We wish you a pleasant stay.
Allumez: switch on; fermer: close; un bon séjour: a pleasant stay.
Une armoire is feminine, even though its usual form is l’armoire. Les rideaux is masculine plural: Les rideaux sont ouverts. One curtain is un rideau. Le porte-bagages keeps its final s when there is just one luggage rack.
