意味
A friendly wish for someone to have an enjoyable evening.
文化的背景
The 'apéro' (aperitif) is a crucial part of the 'soirée'. Wishing someone a 'bonne soirée' often implies you hope they enjoy their drinks and snacks with friends. In Quebec, 'Bonne soirée' is used similarly, but you might also hear 'Bonne fin de journée' a bit earlier in the afternoon than in France. Belgians are very polite with farewells. It is common to hear 'Une excellente soirée à vous' even in very casual shops. In French-speaking Switzerland, the timing for 'Bonne soirée' might start slightly earlier, especially in winter when it gets dark early.
The 5 PM Rule
In France, switch from 'Bonne journée' to 'Bonne soirée' around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM, even if it's still light outside in summer.
Arrival vs Departure
Never say 'Bonne soirée' when you walk into a room. It's like saying 'Goodbye' as a greeting.

Adding 'à tous'
If you are leaving a group, say 'Bonne soirée à tous !' to address everyone at once. It sounds very natural.
The Response
Always reply with 'Merci, vous aussi !' or 'Merci, toi aussi !'. It's rude not to return the wish.
