jusque chez Julien

I notice in the example, Martine walks "jusque chez Julien". More often you see jusqu’à (or au, à la etc). Is à omitted here because "chez" is already a preposition, as well as denoting Julien’s house?

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing "to walk" with se promener/promener/marcher/aller à pied in French"

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

It's either jusqu'à or jusque chez. You can't have both. Which preposition is the correct one is determined by context, e.g.:

Vous allez jusqu'au bout de la rue. -- You walk up to the end of the street.
Martine est allée à pied jusque chez Julien. -- Martine walked by foot to Julien.

Note that using jusque adds a sense of "right up to" or "all the way to".
