I'm doing a French crossword puzzle, and I'm stuck on one of the words.

It's a four letter word like: _a_d
And it fits in the sentence:

Le train part de la____ de Lyon.
Could someone help me out?
Thanks!

gare

It means railway station.

Thank you so much! I completely overlooked that vocabulary word in my textbook!

I hope you can actually take a train from Gare de Lyon someday. :-)

You're welcome.

But now the problem is that another word doesn't fit in...g_ _ _ e

In the sentence
Avant de partir en voyage, on consulte toujours un g_ _ _ e touristique?

Sure, I'll be happy to help you with your French crossword puzzle!

To solve this, we can start by looking at the clue "Le train part de la____ de Lyon." The sentence suggests that we need to find a four-letter word that fits in the blank.

Now, let's look at the available letters of the word: _a_d. To find a possible match, we can use a French dictionary or an online resource to search for four-letter words that fit the pattern.

Based on the available letters and the sentence clue, a possible word that fits the pattern is "gare." In French, "gare" means "station," which makes sense in the context of the sentence "Le train part de la gare de Lyon," meaning "The train departs from the Lyon station."

However, keep in mind that crosswords often have multiple solutions, so it's always a good idea to check the other intersections in the crossword to confirm that the word you found matches with the given letters of those intersecting words as well.

Good luck with the rest of your crossword puzzle! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
