Bonbons!
Wishing you.....
Bonne continuation – varies according to context but the general idea is “Enjoy the rest of whatever it is that you're doing†(your meal, a walk…..)
Bonne réception – a rather useless phrase that you might put in a letter or email to mean “I hope this reaches you safelyâ€
Bon débarras - good riddance !
Bon rétablissement – get well soon
Bon appétit - enjoy your meal
Bon courage - good luck
Bon rétablissement - get well soon
Bon retour - safe return
Any more?

Bon soirée means a rap on your knuckles from teacher. Bonne soirée (like journée and nuitée) refers, as I understand it - like sue and paul, to the whole stretch of time, or whatever is left of it. Hence you say bon soir when you meet someone (I want your evening to be pleasant now) and bonne soirée as you part (I want the rest of your evening to be pleasant).Owens88 wrote:'bonne fin de l'après-midi - have a nice end to the afternoon'
I hear this quite often, usually not long after I have got up.
Bon Soiree - means exactly what?
Bonne chance.

As I posted a while ago, I hear "bonne fin de l'après-midi" every day in Normandy (if I'm out at the right time of day) but almost never "bon après-midi". Here it tends to be the other way about. "après-midi" can be masculine or feminine, according to taste.sue and paul wrote:
