lexique de la salle de bains et les produits de toilettes
On this page you’ll find a complete list of French bathroom vocabulary. Please note the use of the word for bathroom in French is la salle de bains. In France, the salle de bains almost always includes a full showing and a bathing facility along with the wash basin.
It’s important to distinguish this with le W.C. (water closet), which refers to a small room of only a few square feet in area that simply comprises a toilet and sink for hand washing.
Speed up your learning with an app
Many of our students have greatly enhanced their learning by using an app. On these pages we've examined the top-30 apps for learning French. On this pages we've written comprehensive reviews for Pimsleur (great for people struggling with pronunciation), Rosetta Stone and FrenchPod101 (both great for visual learners).
