Everything about the French sentence "Bon voyage"

You are in the right place to find out all the things you need to know about the basic sentence "Bon voyage". To be more specific, this includes a detailed explanation of what it is and how to use it in a normal conversation with an audio example. Along with the useful things we sprinkled like dialogue example, slow pronunciation audio, synonyms and more!

French to English translation

Translation : Have a nice trip

Register : Neutral - Basic

Audio pronunciation

IPA : / bɔ̃ vwajaʒ /

What does bon voyage mean?

It literally means:

• Voyage → Trip

It means "Have a good trip " or "Have a nice trip ". We use it when saying goodbye to someone (or a group of people) leaving for a trip, to wish a safe and nice time during the trip.

Cool thing: "bon voyage " is also used in English with the exact same meaning.

When you want to wish a safe and good trip to someone or a group of people, you can simply add "Bon voyage ". 

If you want to make a sentence out of it, you can say: "Fais bon voyage " (Have a nice/good trip). And for a formal version, use instead: "Je vous souhaite un bon voyage → I wish you a good/nice trip "

If the trip involves driving on the road, you can use "Bonne route → Have a nice (trip on the) road ". And if it's a flight: "Bon vol → Have a good/nice flight ".

Finally, if the trip is about going home, you can also use "Bon retour → Have a good/nice journey home ".

A little trick, if you add "bon(ne) " before a noun, it will mean: "enjoy *noun* " or "have a nice/good *noun* ".

Few examples:

• Bonne journée → Have a nice day
• Bon week-end → Have a nice weekend
• Bon appétit → Enjoy your meal
• Bonne visite → Enjoy your visit
• Bon match → Enjoy the game
• Je vous souhaite un bon voyage → I wish you a good/nice trip
• Fais bon voyage → Have a good/nice trip
• Bonne route → Have a nice (trip on the) road / Be safe on the road
• Bon vol → Have a good/nice flight
• Bon retour → Have a good/nice journey home

Example in a dialogue with French audio

Allez, on y va !

Come on, let's go!

Ça marche ! Bon voyage !

All right! Have a nice trip

Merci ! À plus tard !

Thanks! See you later!

A Bon Voyage Themed Party

Last Sunday I was on the phone with my good friend Jackie and inquired about when she was expecting the movers. “On Monday” she replied. “What!” I practically shouted. “I know. It’s come up too quickly.” She said. It was time for A Bon Voyage Themed Party.

I quickly looked around my house and saw some spaces that were still in a disheveled state from my recent trip to California. I thought of Erma Bombeck and her “ If I Had My Life To Live Over ” poem which includes the line “I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded”. Yes, messy rooms aside, in the grand scheme of things it was more important that we see our friends before they moved east than to keep my house pride.

Having just a day to throw something together I quickly scanned Pinterest . Why there was a whole smorgasbord of “Bon Voyage” themed parties!

I adored David Stark’s map inspired party . The wall map had “Bon Voyage” spelled out in red thumbtacks. Brilliant!

A romantic version was created by Ampersand and Ink Designs . I think this would make a lovely bridal shower theme.

Don’t forget your vintage suitcases and steamer trunks.

Love the day created darling flags and mini garlands out of maps.

Catch my party rolled up plastic ware in navy paper napkins and secured them with a candy “life preserver” and red ribbon. Too cute!

If you were having a large gathering party favors are especially darling in the form of miniature suitcases.

I also thought about how cute it would it be for a large party to have name tags kind of like this:

Bon Voyage Themed Food

Don’t even get me started on the “Bon Voyage” themed food. I loved the watermelon ship. Or perhaps it’s a Love Boat.

I don’t know if I could eat this work of art.

Hostess with the Mostess shared truly yummy looking cookies.

Wall Decor and More

Then there are all sorts of vintage travel themed posters.

French travel-inspired printables.

In the end, I settled on an image that featured the Fashionista and Sweet Boy at precisely the ages they were when we first met our friends. Eight years ago both of our families had just moved to Phoenix and we were living at the Residence Inn while we looked for a house.

Shannon (in pink) was not even a year old when she toddled over to our breakfast table under the watchful eye of her parents. She went straight for Mr. Décor who always attracts kids and puppies and smiled the biggest smile. It was love at first sight for all of us. Sweet Boy became fast friends with Erin and Shannon both.

When you are in the Air Force and separated from loved ones you learn to create new family units that have no bloodlines. As we settled just a few blocks from one another we have celebrated numerous birthdays and holidays with our dear friends. They could be counted on in good times and in bad. A rarity in this world.

A soft turquoise linen cloth was laid down and covered by a snowy white topper. Simple plates and cutlery were laid out along with the blue ticking napkins I had made a while ago. It was topped by a “Bon Voyage” printable. Easy peasy.

The centerpiece had been created a few days earlier with peonies that the heat had taken care of. Replacement spider mums in white looked great too.

Dinner Menu

Tzatziki with flatbread 

Roasted Pepper Hummus with pita chips ala Trader Joe’s

Main Course

Marinated and grilled tri-tip and chicken

Laura’s potato salad

Corn on the cob

Spinach and strawberry salad

Rote Beeren (warm red berry sauce over vanilla ice cream)

It was so good that some of our guests licked their plates. (I love kids!)

I couldn’t send my favorite girls home empty-handed. As they are driving to their new home I transformed J. Crew bags with a printable, ribbons and filled them with travel-sized snacks (both healthy and fun) as well as a few travel activity books.

I know it will not be the last time we will see our friends. (Their new home has a gorgeous guest room!) But still, they will be sorely missed. Sniff.

Bon Voyage sweet friends!

I was blown away at your inspiration photos. So many wonderful ideas! I couldn't eat that cake either. The ideas you settled on were great ones, and the menu sounds wonderful.

I love it that you remind us of that quote from Bombeck. Providentially, I think, I needed to be reminded of it this morning.

I'm sorry you are losing your good friends and hope you get to see them soon and often.

All About the Phrase “Bon Voyage” – and the Travel Habits of the French

August 10, 2020

This article contains affiliate links. This means French Together may earn a commission for purchases made through these links. Read our full affiliate disclosure .

French people have been wishing each other Bon voyage (Have a nice trip) for centuries. The saying is so common that it’s one of those French phrases that’s been adopted into other languages, including English .

Despite how frequently you might hear it, like any ultimate travel destination, bon voyage offers a lot more to discover than you might expect.

Let’s take a guided tour of Bon voyage  and learn about the travel habits of the French along the way!

What does bon voyage mean?

Bon voyage means “Have a good trip”. But as you can see, there aren’t quite as many words to it. Literally, it’s just “Good trip/voyage”.  So, how did we get there?

Wishes in French with bon(ne)(s)

Bon voyage is a shortened form of a phrase like Je vous souhaite un bon voyage. (I wish you a good trip.) or Fais bon voyage (Have a good trip.).

Both of these sentences are still used today, but they tend to be more formal (for the first) or uncommon (for the second).  This is because the French like to keep things brief, so why not just say it in two words?

Bon voyage isn’t the only phrase that expresses a wish like this. There’s a whole list of them, and you may know at least a few already.

These include:

• Bonne année  – Happy New Year
• Bonnes vacances – Have a nice vacation
• Bon appétit – Enjoy your meal
• Bonne journée / Bonne soirée – Have a nice day/evening
• Bon weekend – Have a nice weekend
• Bonne route – Have a good/safe drive
• Bon anniversaire – Happy birthday! This is a less common equivalent of Joyeux anniversaire .

You’ll frequently hear and see these phrases – and you may discover some others, as well. In French, you can add Bon , Bonne, Bons, or Bonnes to a noun (often a gerund (a noun that describes an action)) to say “Have a good….” or “Enjoy…”.

For instance, if you run into someone as you’re headed to the movies, they might tell you << Bon film !>> (“Enjoy the movie!”).

Or you could hear Bonne baignade ! (Have a nice swim!),  and so on.

The structure Bon(ne)(s) + noun works for so many situations, but it can be tricky for us non-native speakers sometimes. For instance, if you want to say “Enjoy the book!”, you can’t use the word livre (book); it would be Bonne lecture! (Happy reading!).

Expressing a complex wish, like “Have a nice day at work!” can also be confusing. You can’t just say Bon travail ! – that literally means “Good work/Good job!”. 

So, what can you do to be sure you get these phrases right?

Sometimes, using these expressions is something that will come from listening to and absorbing French.

Other times, you might be able to correct yourself if you realize you’re using an expression that already means something, as in the case of Bon travail . 

And when it comes to one of those complex wishes, like “Have a good day at work,” it’s probably best to just say it in a different way – it’s not a simple idea, after all.

So, “Have a good day at work” could be Passe une bonne journée au bureau! or in a more formal conversation, Je te/vous souhaite une bonne journ é e au bureau!

….Then again, since the French prefer to keep things concise, you could probably just say Bonne journ ée and leave it at that.

If this seems overwhelming, don’t worry. The phrases with bon(ne)(s) that I’ve listed, as well as a few others , are the most common ones, and are important to know. But if you feel unsure about using bon(ne)(s) + noun otherwise, remember that there are always other ways to say what you want.

For example, I could say «  J’esp è re que tu passeras une bonne journée au travail. » (I hope you’ll have a good day at work) or « J’esp ère que ce livre te plaira. »  (I hope you’ll like this book.). Just think about the meaning behind the wish.

Other ways to wish people well in French using bon(ne)(s)

The expressions we’ve just learned about translate to “Have a good____”. But there are some other expressions in French that use bon(ne)(s) to wish people well in a slightly different way.

In these cases, instead of talking about something concrete or expected, these expressions refer to things like luck or the future.

You’ve probably come across one of the most famous before:

Bonne chance – Good luck

Other common phrases like this include:

• Bonne continuation   – Keep it up! or Good luck with your future endeavors!
• Bon rétablissement – Get well soon
• Bon courage – Hang in there (Although this phrase isn’t necessarily as informal is “Hang in there,” and can be used in most situations)

There’s no major difference between these expressions and others like them , and the ones we looked at earlier, but there are two subtle ones you may come across:

• These well-wishes tend to stay in their original structure. Whether they’re stand-alone statements, or used in a longer phrase (ex: Je vous souhaite une  bonne continuation ), you wouldn’t replace Bon/Bonne with Super in any of these phrases.

• When you’re talking about events, like your continued career or your path back to health, you add un or une before bon/bonne when it’s used in a sentence, as you can see in the example in the previous paragraph. But when you talk about a totally abstract concept or feeling like luck or courage, you don’t use an article (ex: Je te souhaite bon courage. ) .

How to take bon voyage to the next level

Although you can’t add to or change the core phrases we saw in the last section, you can modify bon voyage and its closest cousins a bit.

Most of the time, Bon voyage is a perfectly normal way to wish someone a good trip. But maybe you want them to know you hope they have an EXTRA good trip.

In this case, you can add tr è s (very), like so: Passe(z) un tr è s bon voyage. or Je vous/te souhaites un tr è s bon voyage.

In informal situations, like when you’re talking to a friend, you could replace tr ès bon or just tr ès with super.  For example: Passe(z) un super voyage OR Passe(z) un super bon voyage.

For more formal situations, excellent would be a good replacement.  For example: Je vous souhaite un excellent voyage.

You’ve probably realized that when you add tr ès, super , or excellent , you can’t just use Bon voyage on its own, though.

Do the French say Bon voyage a lot?:  The French and travel

The average working French person gets five weeks of paid vacation a year, plus about a week’s worth of personal days. There are also a number of national holidays in France, and schools have two-week vacations every six weeks, plus two months of summer vacation. Train tickets are usually affordable, and low-cost airlines operate out of many French airports. So it’s no wonder that the French are among the nationalities that travel the most . 

Where and when do the French travel?

But where do they like to go?  It turns out that most French people tend to travel primarily within France .

Part of this can be explained by the French rail system, which is highly developed and fairly affordable. It’s easy to go to major cities or even small towns, and since many trains are high speed, a trip like that might only take a few hours. Add to this the wide range of landscapes to be found in mainland France alone – from the warm beaches of the Côte d’Azur, to the ski slopes of the Alps, to attractions in major cities like Paris. France is even home to Europe’s only Disney theme park.

And of course, many French people use at least some of their vacation time to visit family and friends who also live in France.

As for when the French travel, there are some traditions around that. But it turns out they don’t totally reflect reality.

For instance, French people typically go on their longest or even only vacation in summer. August is considered a month when everything shuts down (well, except in vacation/tourism destinations, of course). Entire businesses will close their doors because everyone is on vacation.

But with globalization, as well as new, strategic ways of thinking, that’s changed in recent years. According to recent statistics, 69% of the French population takes a summer vacation. But many companies have at least a few employees who stay behind in August – and those people aren’t always disappointed about it. Some French people prefer to work during this time because their offices are usually calmer since so many of their coworkers and bosses are away. They take a vacation another time – when most destinations will be less crowded and pricey, besides.

Similarly, in winter, especially during the winter school holidays, French people traditionally go on ski trips. And yet, it turns out that only 1 in 10 French people go skiing every year.

Part of these lower-than-expected numbers is due to cost. Not everyone can afford to travel – especially taking a ski trip, which involves a lot of expenses beyond room and board.

Which countries do the French travel to most?

Although France itself is the number-one travel destination for French people, the French do go abroad, as well. And when you think about it, with all of the vacation time they have, a majority of a French person’s travel might be national, but they might go beyond their borders for at least one of those trips.

The top countries visited by the French in 2019 include Spain, Greece, Italy, Tunisia, Turkey, Egypt, and Russia, as well as Canada and the United States.

What do people think of French tourists?

All of this traveling has earned the French  a reputation in the hospitality and tourism industries, as well as with locals in certain places. The typical French tourist is known to be critical, curious, cheap, and seductive.

As some of the people interviewed in this article suggest , seemingly negative traits like being critical may also make them have a more in-depth travel experience. For instance, a tour guide in India explains that instead of saying that they like or don’t like an ice cream flavor, a French tourist will often ask about what’s in it.

They might also make suggestions for how its taste might be improved, which goes with another way the French are perceived: as comparing everything to how good it is or how much it costs back in France.

None of this is to say that the French are terrible tourists (even though they often joke about this amongst themselves). After all, tourists from every country have their good and bad points , and a lot of times it has to do with how well their culture meshes with the local one.

For what it’s worth, one thing I’ve noticed about French people who travel to other countries is that whether or not they complained or made comparisons to France on-site, they generally seem to see their experience as positive, even as a way to expand their knowledge and perspective on the world. Whether they spent a week sunbathing on a beach somewhere, or visited a new city or monument, they come home with a sense of having learned something, and (understandably) often nostalgia for the place they left.

This Egyptian tour guide agrees with me. She loves French tourists because [ i]ls sont très cultivés, ils s’intéressent aux monuments. Ils ne voyagent pas seulement pour prendre des photos (They’re very educated, they’re interested in monuments. They don’t travel just to take pictures.).”

A recent survey shows that 53% of French people see taking a vacation as important and something they’re willing to make sacrifices for.  In addition to self-care and getting away from it all, I think some of this could also be chalked up to wanderlust and a natural curiosity and fascination with other places.

Do you have a favorite place to travel? How about somewhere you dream of going – particularly in France? Whether you’re planning a trip or just armchair traveling, Bon voyage!

Opening [ ]

The song begins with a shot of palm trees waving. Then short flashes of the trademark items of the Straw Hats are shown: Luffy 's hat, Zoro 's katana, Usopp walking holding his glasses, Chopper standing on the sand looking at the sea, Nami 's bottom and Clima Tact , Robin 's hat and lastly Sanji cooking, followed by photographs of the Straw Hat pirates. Then the lyrics roll, and the Going Merry is shown sailing, with Luffy's voiceover in the background. Next, shots of major antagonists such as Smoker and Tashigi ; Buggy and Alvida ; Fleet admiral Sengoku , Vice Admiral Tsuru and the Five Elders ; Kuma ,  Doflamingo  and  Dracule Mihawk  are displayed. Thereafter close-ups of Portgas D. Ace and  Whitebeard 's face come into view, followed by Marshall D. Teach and the Red Hair Pirates .

The ONE PIECE logo is then flashed and Luffy's seen sitting on the bow of the Merry with his crewmates behind him. The next scene shows the Straw Hat Pirates fading in, in the order of their appearance in the series, and later sitting on a beach. They are then shown running together, before a flash of each character's past in the series is seen. It includes Shanks saving Luffy, Kuina beating a downed Zoro, Sanji and Zeff during their initial years while starving, Chopper in a snowy land when Hiriluk kills himself and waving his flag, Usopp crying and Banchina on her deathbed, Nami being abandoned after Bell-mère pats her head, and finally Robin depressed and curled up.

An animation with silhouettes (albeit colored) of the crew riding the ship is shown, followed by individual portraits. The song ends with a group portrait and the One Piece logo closing into view.

English Lyrics - Caitlin Tiffany Glass English Singer - Brina Michelle Palencia

[LUFFY] Did you know there's an awesome treasure hidden at the end of this sea? And anyone who finds it will be King Of The Pirates! Is that exciting or what? There are incredible adventures out there just waiting for us!

Have the courage, set sail and believe, and we will see A glimpse of the sun rising on our tomorrow.

Back when we first started, we had separate horizons Sailed toward different dreams. Things have changed now For together we found we look through the spyglass and see, And we know, that our hearts have brought us here. Where the compass points our destiny, There’s no looking back, take the helm with me!

Bon Voyage!

We cast off all our troubles, forget the past. Though the future’s unclear We still can smile we know we’ll get there. No regrets! Every tear that we've cried only helps our dreams come true. You and those dreams are precious in my life. A glimpse of the sun rising on our tomorrow! [1]

• Pandaman appears in this intro, Usopp catches him during the colored mini-boat scene with his fishing rod.
• The shot of her on the bed is reused from the ending " FAITH ".
• "Bon Voyage!" means "Have a good trip!" in French.
• The Color Spread of Chapter 201 can be seen in the opening.
• Due to it being impossible to edit the title in the English version, FUNimation had to settle for fading away from the Merry sailing off from behind to using a clip from the series of the Merry sailing to showcase their title.
• This was the last opening to be dubbed by FUNimation.
• Just like the previous opening theme, in the special edition print, the "Special Edition" text in Japanese katakana was added to the One Piece logo (which was later removed in digital prints).

S.S. Bon Voyage Overview

The Uniworld river ship formerly known as River Royale underwent a total transformation and emerged in 2019 as the S.S. Bon Voyage. The redesign is inspired by the rich culinary and gastronomic excellence of the region in which she sails. A new bistro on board is inspired by the world-famous French bistro, Bouillon Pigalle. A new swimming pool and lounge, complemented by a casual eatery with a light menu and cooking classes, are just some of the exciting new features aboard Uniworld's S.S. Bon Voyage. The accommodations also got a face-lift, with four new suites, as well as marble bathrooms throughout the ship, introduced to make the ship even more luxurious. As a final touch to elevate your onboard experience aboard S.S. Bon Voyage, Uniworld increased the number of crew as a sign of their dedication to top-tier service.

• Luxurious Staterooms The new S.S. Bon Voyage features four new, elegantly designed suites. Another new feature in the fresh staterooms is the marble bathrooms, which were completely redesigned before the ship's launch in 2019. No matter which room you choose, from the classic interior cabin to the spacious Owner's Suite, they are all complete with lavish amenities, such as a flat-screen TV, premium bath products and more.  

• Culinary Excellence With any Uniworld ship comes extraordinary gastronomic treats, and the S.S. Bon Voyage is no different. Except for the addition of two new places to spoil your taste buds.
