I'm writing an assignment in English, but I want the heading of the Table of Contents page to be in French.

I would also like to place a link at the bottom of each page saying "Return to the table of contents", but I would like that to be in French too.

What is the French translation for these English phrases?

What did you try ? How is not a dictionnary answering that ? (Table des matières, reverso gives it) – Nikana Reklawyks Nov 19 '12 at 20:22

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

Table of Contents is “Table des matières” (notice the absence of a capital letter in matières, only the first letter of a title is made big in French). And “return to the table of contents” would be “retour à la table des matières” (retour is a noun, not a verb).
