Differences in the use of numbers in French and English: Addresses
Like English, address numbers are cardinal numbers in French. But the French for 'a', 'b', 'c' is bis, ter, quater:
- 12, rue Lamarck
- 12bis, rue Lamarck
- 12ter, rue Lamarck
NB: In addresses, rue, avenue, boulevard, etc., usually begin with lower case letters.
