Cultural Tip
In French, "vestiaire" can refer both to a locker room and to a coat‑check area. When speaking to staff, using the polite form (vous) is preferred: "Le vestiaire, il est ouvert à quelles heures, s’il vous plaît ?" Also, French speakers often prefer the inversion form (À quelles heures le vestiaire est‑il ouvert ?) in more formal contexts.
