The traditional French equivalents of 'goodbye' are 'adieu' and 'au revoir'. The word 'adieu', which means 'to God', tends to be more final and formal.

The word au revoir means 'to the seeing again', with the preposition 'au' meaning 'to' and the infinitive-used-as-a-noun 'revoir' meaning 'the seeing again'. Besides 'au revoir', another common way of saying 'goodbye' among friends is a la prochaine [fois], which means 'til the next [time]'.

Literally, the French equivalent of 'take care' is prendre soin. The infinitive 'prendre' means 'to take'. The noun 'soin' means 'care'. But literal translations aren't always actual equivalents. Such is this case. French speakers and writers instead may use salut, which means 'salutations, greetings, cheers'.
