문화적 배경
The 'Grands Départs' in July and August are a national phenomenon where millions of French people head to the coast. 'Bon voyage' is heard everywhere during this time. In Quebec, 'Bon voyage' is just as common, but you might also hear 'Bonne route' used even for shorter trips than in France. In French-speaking West Africa, 'Bon voyage' is often accompanied by blessings for a safe return, reflecting deep communal ties. Belgians use 'Bon voyage' similarly to the French, often at the Gare du Midi in Brussels, a major hub for international trains like the Thalys.
