I've just arrived at the gîte I've booked for my holiday, and get some handy information on how things work.
Hakim and owner outside the gîte door. - Voilà vos clés, Monsieur. Il faut bien fermer
   la porte quand vous sortez.
- There are your keys. You must close the
   door properly when you go out.		 - Ah, très bien.
- Ah, alright.
Owner shows Hakim how to turn on the heating. - Pour le chauffage, il faut tourner le bouton-là.
- For the heating, you must turn this button here.		 - Ah, d'accord.
- Ah, OK.
- Mais attention, il faut l'éteindre quand vous sortez.
- But remember, you must turn it off when you go out.
Hakim and owner in the bathroom. - Voici la salle de bains. Vous avez l'eau chaude toute
   la journée.
- Here is the bathroom. You've got hot water all day.		 - Très bien.
- Very well.
Owner shows Hakim the shower. - Pour la douche, il faut tirer le bouton.

- Pardon, vous pouvez répéter ?
- Sorry, can you repeat that?		 - Vous tournez le robinet, et après,
   vous tirez le bouton.
