Level 25 - À / Au / À La / À L' / Aux À means 'to', 'at' and in the case of towns and cities, can also mean 'in'. It is an extremely common word in French.
When à is followed by la or l' there is no problem - we simply say à la and à l'. But when the word à needs to be followed by le and les (plural), à + le becomes au and à + les becomes aux. We have already seen au and aux in Level 24 when we learnt that au Portugal means 'in Portugal' and that aux États-Unis means 'in the United States'. Here are some more examples.
