salle de bains

I was wondering why with the sentence "une salle de bains avec une baignoire", that "bains" is plural. Is it always plural even if there is just the one bathroom ?

Hi Martin,

Yes, 'bains' is always plural, think of 'salle de bains' as the room where you have lots of baths, the action of bathing.

If you have several bathrooms it would be -

J'ai deux salles de bains = I have two bathrooms

Bonne Continuation!
