خلفية ثقافية
In French restaurants, if you ask for the 'toilettes', the answer is almost always 'à droite' or 'à gauche' at the end of a corridor. It's a very common interaction. The terms 'Right' and 'Left' in politics originated in the French Revolutionary parliament. Those who sat on the right were supporters of the monarchy and tradition. France drives on the right side of the road. 'Priorité à droite' is a famous and often confusing traffic rule where you must yield to cars coming from the right at intersections without signs.
The 'E' Rule
If you see an 'e' at the end (droite), it's a direction. If you don't (droit), it's usually 'straight' or 'law'.
GPS Confusion
Be careful when listening to a GPS. 'Tout droit' and 'À droite' sound very similar to a beginner's ear.
