As a useful beginner guide, your choice between à and chez depends on how the destination is named. The preposition à is typically used for common place destinations, appearing either alone before standard article-free city names or combining with articles into forms like au or aux depending on the noun. In contrast, French conventionally uses chez when the destination is identified through a person, a professional, or someone's home, such as chez le médecin, personal names, or stressed pronouns.

Learn French: Asking for Everyday Items with Je cherche and Avez-vous
Je cherche literally means I am looking for or I am searching for. Speakers use it to name the product, counter, or section they want to find. Avez-vous is the inverted question form of you have (formal or plural), used to ask directly whether the listener or establishment possesses or stocks an item. Neither phrase is confined to a single rigid script: je cherche often leads to location guidance, while avez-vous directly checks possession or current supply.
