Question sur consigne

Pouvez-vous dire simplement "consigne" en lieu de "consigne à bagages"?

Bonjour Joe, 

Yes, you can say "consigne" instead of "consigne à bagages" in French.

"Consigne" is commonly used as a shortened form and is widely understood to mean luggage storage service, especially in contexts such as train stations, airports, or hotels, where the meaning is clear from the setting.

Both forms are correct:

"Consigne à bagages" (full form)

"Consigne" (shortened form)

 

For example, you might see signs that say "Consigne" or hear people ask

"Où est la consigne?" (Where is the luggage storage?)

rather than using the full expression.

Bonne Continuation !
