I have received an email giving directions to our holiday destination in France next month.
Unfortunately it is in French.
How can I get an email to google translate?
I know it's late but we do have some night owls on here!
Thanks.

Jackdaw it's still in French!!
Actually that's not bad for an on-line translator. Cartes here means maps. If you want further clarification let me know. The last bit says thank you very much for replying etc.
Question Author
Thank you Cloverjo.
It looks idyllic Caran but I would ask for the post to be taken down now, as I'm a bit paranoid about info getting into the wrong hands .... you can't be too careful these days. Have a super holiday xx
Barby at Caran's! :-)
Caran -do you want a proper translation from someone who actually has French as their first language?
You can find us on various regional and local maps.
IF not, on leaving Paris take the A10/11 ,just after the Toll Gate to St Arnoult,take the (A11) Chartres. Go past the Chartres turn off and leave the A11 at exit 4 (Luigny) direction Brou
Go straight on through Brou and at the first traffic lights turn right then straight on past the Leisure centre, and riding stables, continue for about 1 km then take the road on the right ( metal pole just in front)

Continue straight on this road on this paved road (tarmac) and you will arrive in the centre of the Gite.

Did you use a French to French translator, Jackdaw?

Surely you knew that post was of no help?
Talbot -of course he did -and he was trying to correct my French the other day and its my langue maternelle!

That's great Retrochic thank you.
I most certainly did not. I copied the text and was about to provide a translation when I pressed the wrong key and it submitted. Although French is not my first language I pride myself on the fact that it is a very good second. As to retrochic's rude comment, may I point out that French and Canadian French are not quite the same thing.
Question Author
Thank you for your effort Jackdaw, the thought was much appreciated.

The michelin route planner is very good in these situations - as you are probably aware the French have a number system like out postcode so that will get you very close to where you are heading. It provides, once you`ve entered your typical mpg a very good estimate for tolls and petrol cost. Take a good selection of small Euro notes to save messing about with card. DFDS is my preferred ferry company through Dunkerque
