In Paris, 'À plus' is often said very quickly, sometimes sounding like just 'Plus !'. It's a hallmark of the 'pressé' (hurried) lifestyle. Quebecers use 'À plus tard' but also frequently use 'Bonjour' as a way to say goodbye, which can be confusing for European French speakers. In Francophone Africa, farewells are often more elaborate. 'À plus tard' might be followed by a wish for the family. Swiss French speakers might use 'À tout' as a very short version of 'À tout à l'heure' or 'À plus tard'.

If you say the whole phrase, keep the 's' quiet. If you cut it short to 'À plus', let the 's' hiss!

⚠️

Don't use for 'At the latest'

Always use 'au plus tard' for deadlines. 'À plus tard' will make people think you are saying goodbye.
