Normally, I think of using the preposition "à " when referring to a city. In this passage, they land in (à) Paris but they take the train to (pour) Florence. I am guessing that Florence is not an exception as a city but rather one takes the train for or to a city using the preposition, pour, instead of à. Is that correct?

Couldn't I say, "Je n'ai fait que mes devoirs"? Why is "Je n'ai que fait mes devoirs" better. The 1st one feels more natural.

La facture instead of la note?

Could one also use « la facture « as well as « la note »?

Cultural context for one of the examples.

Hi, this is more a "is this something people use?"/"What does it mean to the person you say it to" question, not a grammar problem.

The example "La grossesse va bien à ta femme" comes off as eyebrow-raising-rude to my English speaking brain (maybe it's a regional difference? I'm American and from the southeast). Is this something people would actually say/use or would it get you side-eyed around the world? I feel like my brain must be taking it too literally.
