Vous avez rendu visite à Paula

I do not understand this one.  Rendre means "to return"? so this means "You returned to visit Paula" but it states "You visited Paula".

thanks for a clarification,

Hi Rosmarie, 

The expression 'rendre visite' means, to visit someone although 'rendre' can mean to give back or return something.

J'ai rendu visite à mes parents ce weekend = I visited my parents this weekend

Hope this helps!
