If you say

"Allez tout droit, prenez la troisiÃ¨me rue Ã droite",
you are giving directions to someone driving (or walking) to
"Go straight ahead, turn right on the third intersection".

Notice that "tout droit" means straight ahead, and "Ã droite" (note the "e" at the end) means turn right.

Sorry, there was a problem with encoding. The sentence should have read:

"Allez tout droit, prenez la troisième rue à droite",

"Tout droit, prenez la troisième à droite" is a phrase in French that translates to "Straight ahead, take the third right" in English. It is commonly used for giving directions.

To understand the meaning of each part of the phrase:
- "Tout droit" means "straight ahead." It indicates that you should continue moving forward without turning or deviating from the current path.
- "Prenez" is the imperative form of the verb "prendre," which means "to take" or "to grab." It instructs you to physically take or turn onto a particular route.
- "La troisième" means "the third." It specifies a numerical order or position.
- "À droite" means "to the right." It signifies the direction in which you should turn, in this case, it is to the right.

So, when someone tells you "Tout droit, prenez la troisième à droite," they are instructing you to continue straight ahead until you reach a point where you need to make a right turn. At that point, you should take the third right turn.
