Great start..I find that these simple phrases simply don't come to mind in a timely fashion. But I will keep trying....
Remember Yesterday, Dream About Tomorrow, But Live Today.
Ou est le salle de bain? is one we always have with us.
Oh la la is used a lot especially in the south of france.... Ou sont les toilettes? nice to know that one...
Great reference, Andy...thanks for sharing.
la salle de bain is for taking a bath...

Oui, il y a très peu de baignoires à St Barth.. pas assez d'eau...moi, je préfère prendre une douche à la villa.
Many years ago I was hanging out on St Pierre ( http://www.st-pierre-et-miquelon.com/en/ ) at the same time as a University of Toronto French Immersion class was on the tiny island. There were a few students looking for the salle de bain, who were gently educated that they were really looking for la toilette.
Me, I can still taste the worldclass Cocquilles St Jacques that I had on St Pierre. One night I even went for (early) First Dinner, and then again for (late) Second Dinner. The scallops only got better the second time around. Seafood in a fishing port - gotta be good! Hmm, I do something similar with Mahi on St Barth, LOL.
The students from UoT were much more socially acceptable than the passengers, who I found years later, coming off of the Cats from SXM and calling out "Ou est la bibliothèque".
surtout pas aux restaurants

à propos, dit-on toujours "les vécés" (les WC) ? ou est-il une expression démodée ?

Ou les chiotes puent parfois....surtout pas aux restaurants
Tu dis VC ou toilettes ou chiotes...(chiotes is a bit vulgar....)
Thank you for the correction- now we will say- Ou est la toilette? instead of salle de bain.
