Nous revenons chez la fleuriste parce que le premier bouquet plaît beaucoup à Marie.

Chez is used for someone’s place: their home, office, shop, or business.

So chez la fleuriste means at/to the florist’s place. In English, we often say the florist’s in the same way.

You would not normally use dans la fleuriste, because that would be like saying in the florist rather than at the florist’s shop.

Here, la fleuriste shows that the florist is female.

The noun fleuriste can refer to either a man or a woman, and the article tells you which:

• le fleuriste = the male florist
• la fleuriste = the female florist

So this sentence is specifically talking about a woman who works as a florist.

Revenons is the present tense of revenir for nous:

• je reviens
• tu reviens
• il/elle revient
• nous revenons
• vous revenez
• ils/elles reviennent

So nous revenons means we come back, we are coming back, or sometimes we are going back, depending on context.

French often uses the simple present where English might prefer are coming back or are going back.

Both revenir and retourner can involve returning, but they are not always felt the same way.

• revenir = to come back
• retourner = to go back / return

In many contexts, both can work, but revenir often sounds like returning to a place from the speaker’s or story’s point of view.

So Nous revenons chez la fleuriste suggests we’re coming back to the florist’s.

Parce que means because and introduces the reason.

So:

• Nous revenons chez la fleuriste = we’re going back to the florist’s
• parce que... = because...

It is the most common everyday way to give a reason in French.

You might also see car, which can also mean because, but parce que is usually more common in normal spoken French.

With ordinal numbers like premier (first), French often uses the definite article:

• le premier = the first
• la première = the first (feminine)

So le premier bouquet means the first bouquet.

This is natural because first usually identifies a specific item in an order or sequence.

Also, bouquet is masculine, so it is le premier bouquet, not la première bouquet.

This is because plaire works differently from aimer.

With plaire, the thing that is pleasing becomes the subject:

• Le bouquet plaît à Marie = the bouquet pleases Marie

In more natural English, that usually becomes:

• Marie likes the bouquet

So the structure is:

• thing + plaire + à + person

Examples:

• Ce film plaît à Paul. = Paul likes this film.
• Les fleurs plaisent à Marie. = Marie likes the flowers.

This is one of the most important things to notice in the sentence.

Because plaire takes an indirect object for the person who experiences the liking.

So:

• Le bouquet plaît à Marie.
• literally: The bouquet is pleasing to Marie

That is why it is à Marie, not just Marie directly.

If you replace à Marie with a pronoun, you use an indirect object pronoun:

• Le premier bouquet lui plaît beaucoup. = The first bouquet pleases her / She likes the first bouquet a lot.

In French, très usually modifies adjectives or adverbs, not verbs.

So you say:

• très beau = very beautiful
• très bien = very well

But with a verb like plaire, French normally uses beaucoup:

• plaît beaucoup = pleases a lot / is liked a lot

So:

• Le bouquet plaît beaucoup à Marie = Marie likes the bouquet a lot

Using très here would be incorrect.

The circumflex in plaît is mostly a spelling feature here. It often reflects an older s that disappeared from the language over time.

For learners, the important point is:

• plaît = form of plaire
• it is pronounced roughly like plè

The accent does not mean you stress the word differently the way you might in English. French stress works differently.

You should mainly treat plaît as the correct spelling of the il/elle/on form:

• il plaît
• elle plaît
• ça plaît

Yes, that would be grammatically correct and very natural.

• Marie aime beaucoup le premier bouquet = Marie likes the first bouquet a lot
• Le premier bouquet plaît beaucoup à Marie = The first bouquet pleases Marie / Marie likes the first bouquet a lot

The basic meaning is very similar, but the focus is slightly different:

• aimer focuses more directly on Marie
• plaire puts the spotlight on the bouquet as the thing creating the positive reaction

French uses both, but plaire à quelqu’un is especially common when talking about whether something appeals to someone.

Yes. French and English do not always divide come and go in exactly the same way.

French revenir often covers the idea of returning, and in English the most natural translation in context may be:

• we’re coming back
• we’re going back
• we return

So even if the literal idea is come back, you should choose the English version that sounds natural in the situation.
