Hi,

I'd rather say séjour or voyage.
Your sentence is correct, but we're used to saying "tous les vols sont complets" to mean that there's fully booked.
Mon séjour à Paris doit être ajourné (OR remis à plus tard, as you said) car/parce que tous les vols sont complets.

(to postpone = ajourner = remettre à plus tard)

You would use "visit" if you're going to visit someone or a place in particular.

Hi Marc,

séjour = visit (English) ?

What I know is "bon séjour á Paris" (have a happy stay in Paris)

car/parce que
" car" / "parce que" - do I need adding "que" after "car" ?

Thanks

Ma visite à Paris doit ...

You wrote 'vers Paris'. It borders towards Paris. It should be à Paris.

To France is 'en France'.
To Paris is à Paris.

Je vais en France mais je vais à Paris.

Hi Crack1,

Thanks for your advice.

To France is 'en France'.
To Paris is à Paris.

Is it using "en" for country and "à" for city ?

Is there "á" ancent in French? If YES then what will be its difference to "à" ?

TIA
