文化背景
In France, an 'arrêt' is not just a bus stop; it is a term of high legal authority. The French legal system relies heavily on these formal decrees to set precedents. Historically, these rulings were the way the King or the high courts settled disputes once and for all.
The 'Via' Trick
If you can replace 'par' with 'via' in English, you're using it correctly for directions!
Don't confuse with 'À'
Saying 'Je suis par l'arrêt' sounds like you are floating near it. Use 'À l'arrêt' to say you are physically standing there.

What It Means
Think of par l'arrêt as the 'how' or 'where' of an action. In the world of law, an arrêt is a formal judgment. When you say something was decided par l'arrêt, you're saying the court's decree made it happen. In everyday life, it’s more literal. It describes moving 'via' or 'by' a specific transit stop. It’s a bridge between the stiff world of judges and the daily hustle of the bus station.
How To Use It
You’ll mostly see this in formal writing or hear it in directions. If you’re citing a legal case, you use it to point to the specific decision. If you're telling a friend your route, you use it to specify which stop you're passing. It’s a precise phrase. It doesn't just mean 'stop'; it means 'by way of the stop' or 'by means of the ruling.' It’s like pointing a finger at a specific point on a map or a document.
When To Use It
Use it when you want to sound authoritative about a rule. It’s perfect for professional emails regarding company policies or legal matters. You can also use it when giving directions. 'Passer par l'arrêt' is a common way to tell someone to go via the bus station. It’s great for B2 learners because it shows you understand the difference between a simple stop and a formal decree.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this to tell someone to 'stop' doing something. That’s just the verb arrêter. Don't use it if you mean 'at the stop'—that would be à l'arrêt. If you use par when you mean à, people might think you are literally flying through the bus stop without stopping! Also, avoid it in very slangy conversations. It feels a bit too structured for a casual 'hey, what's up?' vibe.
Cultural Background
France is a country that loves its administrative procedures. The term arrêt comes from the Old French 'arester,' meaning to stay or remain. In the French legal system, an arrêt is a decision from a high court, like the *Cour de cassation*. It’s a big deal. Culturally, it reflects the French respect for centralized authority and clear, written rules. Even the bus system is treated with a certain level of formal naming that reflects this love for order.
Common Variations
You will often hear sans arrêt, which means 'without stopping' or 'constantly.' There is also à l'arrêt, which means something is at a complete standstill. If you’re talking about a heart attack, the French say arrêt cardiaque. If you are in the military and get in trouble, you might be aux arrêts (under arrest/confined). Each variation changes the vibe, but they all stem from that core idea of a definitive 'stop' or 'decision.'
使用说明
In legal contexts, it is strictly formal. In transit contexts, it is neutral. Be careful not to use it as a verb; it is always a prepositional phrase.
The 'Via' Trick
If you can replace 'par' with 'via' in English, you're using it correctly for directions!
Don't confuse with 'À'
Saying 'Je suis par l'arrêt' sounds like you are floating near it. Use 'À l'arrêt' to say you are physically standing there.
Legal Weight
In France, an 'arrêt' is much stronger than a 'jugement'. It usually comes from a higher court and is harder to overturn.
