 Poster: A snowHead

Can one of our French residents explain how things are changing? Does Paris really have holidays from 4 February till 19 March? Would spread them out a bit, I suppose.

@pam w,
The holiday system is exactly the same as beforehand with 3 zones spread over 4 weeks, but some of the regions have been shuffled around. The biggest change is (for me at least, because it stuffs our family arrangement royally) Paris zone now including the Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées instead of Bordeaux.

I can't link the table that puzzled me so, but it was in about-france.com and looks very different.

@pam w, could it have been a misprint, i.e. was meant to say 4th Feb to 19th Feb?

Ah, right, the table I used was just wrong.... Because I'm on an incredibly slow internet connection I didn't check others. Snowheads is one of the fee sites which works OK. Some just don't seem to load at all, including some of the other holiday links.

Just looking at that link for the winter holidays too and the implication for Christmas and New Year weeks. As Christmas Day and New Years Day fall on a Sunday and school term starts on Tuesday 3rd do you think the usual Saturday - Saturday or Sunday - Sunday will still stand or will there be some tweaking? If I recall from the past hasn't there been an '8 day week' followed by a '6 day week' to get round this for the New Year holiday makers - or have I dreamed that up?!
