Salut !

Demain, on a la réunion à 9h au bureau (près de la station Victor-Hugo). Tu viens comment ? En ce moment, le tram est souvent plein à l'heure de pointe et j'ai peur d'être en retard. On peut se retrouver à l'arrêt du tram, ou prendre le métro, ou venir en vélo (il y a une piste cyclable et une station de vélos près du bureau). Tu me dis ?

Camille

Hi!

Tomorrow, we have the meeting at 9 a.m. at the office (near the Victor-Hugo station). How are you coming? Right now, the tram is often full during rush hour and I'm afraid of being late. We can meet at the tram stop, or take the metro, or come by bike (there is a bike lane and a bike station near the office). Let me know?

Camille

Je viens en métro demain. C'est souvent plus rapide et je suis rarement en retard. On peut se retrouver à l'arrêt Victor-Hugo à 8h45, devant la station. Si le tram est trop plein ou en retard, on prend le métro ensemble ou je viens à vélo.

À demain !
Hi Camille,

I'm coming by metro tomorrow. It's often faster and I'm rarely late. We can meet at the Victor-Hugo stop at 8:45, in front of the station. If the tram is too crowded or late, we can take the metro together or I can come by bike.

See you tomorrow!
