Are we there yet?

To say something is a certain distance away, use à + distance + de. You also use this pattern to say something is to the south, north, east, or west!

L'hôtel est à cinq kilomètres du musée.

I'm sur it was on this street...

In French, you'll use sur to say that a place is on the avenue or on the square.

L'hôtel est sur l'avenue du Général de Gaulle.
Le magasin est sur la place Louis XV.

But when talking about a rue, you should just say the street name.

Le restaurant est rue des Rosées.

Les arrondissements

Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements, each with its own character, monuments, and charm! You can often just say which arrondissement something is in.

Le Louvre est dans le premier arrondissement.
La tour Eiffel est dans le septième arrondissement.
