Quatre cent vs. quatre cents

Dear Sir or Madame: The last line lists "quatre cent variétés de fromage français." Why is it quatre cent vs. quatre cents? The lesson on large numbers would lead me to believe this should be plural. Also, how would I write out this question as posed in French?

Y or ici.. When to use

M'y answer feels awkward and is clearly wrong but i cannot find anywhere on the site that deals with when you need to use ici rather than ils n'y habitent plus in this situation... Think it needs là as well.

The help just takes you to ne..plus

Ils habitent ici? - Non, ils ________. Do they live here? - No, they don't live here any more.n'habitent plus icin'y habitent plus

Preposition pour

When using the preposition pour. In this sentence pour nous deux, Marianne et moi. Why does it mean for both of us I know pour means for but I don't know why deux means both.

Thanks

Can s'en aller take an indirect object?

I notice that none of the example sentences say where the person is going to, 'Je m'en vais à la plage', for example. Is that because no-one uses s'en aller with an indirect object like that? Or if they do, how would the meaning differ from 'Je vais à la plage' or 'Je pars à la plage'? (I'm wondering if it's a bit like 'I'm outa here' (I am out of here); you'd never say 'I'm outa here to the beach'.)

aux vs. dans

Why can't it be "aux fêtes" since the sentence is "at parties"?
