French school calendars
4 schools following this curriculum, across 4 cities.
How the French year is shaped
French schools keep a longer lunch and a shorter day, but calendar-wise the year follows the French zone pattern: All Saints, Christmas, winter and spring breaks.
3 of these 4 schools publish staff training days (INSET / PD) — days the school is shut to students but most workplaces are not. Those are the dates worth checking first if you need childcare.
Christmas break
Dec 18 – Jan 3, 2027
Counted as the earliest school-holiday start among the 4 French schools below. They publish their own calendars and do not all break in the same week, so the school that breaks first is not the family breaking — each school's own dates are listed below.

| Break | Schools publishing it |
|---|---|
| School holiday | 11 of 4 |
| Winter break | 3 of 4 |
| Other school holiday | 3 of 4 |

Source and data
This page restates the calendars of 4 French schools, collected from each school or its authority and published as one dataset at /data/schools-compact.json. There is no single French calendar, so there is no single source here: every school above links to its own.
Data collected for this dataset. It is the date the whole dataset was collected, not a per-school verification date: a school may have published its dates earlier, and any of these calendars can change after it.
A school's calendar can change mid-year. Confirm against the school's own publication before booking travel.
Spotted a wrong date, or a school that has republished its calendar? Report a date error or source change — name the school in the details, or use the per-school report link in the list above so that the school's own source URL travels with the report.
