I stopped at a gas station on HWY 2 to fill up on the way home today. There
were two metric cruisers with Quebec plates parked off to the side; when I
came out of the store after paying for the gas I spoke with one of the
riders. I asked her where they had been and immediately we had a language
problem as she didn't speak very much English and I barely remembered my
French. I was able to gather that they were on their way home from Sandbanks
Provincial Park, though.

Anyways, I wanted to say "Have a safe ride home" in French, but my ageing
brain just could not find the words. So.... seeing as how I meet lots of
Quebec riders in my area and I'll no doubt be in this position again, can
someone tell me how to say this in French?

"Bon voyage de retour"
"Bon Retour a la maison"
Both are good ways to tell them what you wanna say...

"Bonne route" is a French expression that could be used as it signifies
"Have a safe trip"

Thanks for the replies! I like the "Bonne route" and "Bon retour a la
maison". I think I can remember those two.

Just say to her:

"Voulez-vous couchez avec moi?"

Or maybe not....

Thanks, Joe, but I haven't forgotten ALL of the French I learned while
stationed in Montreal. :-) One of my favourite lines was "Tes yeux sont
merveilleur."
