Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

European half term dates?

Would like to avoid if possible. I know the UK dates. But can anyone tell me please those for France, Spain, Belgium, etc? I seem to recall France having 3 two week periods between early Feb and early March but not sure of the actual weeks.

I don't know the dates but if you check any on-line ski and boot hire company that operate in Europe the dates when they have no equipment for hire corespond to the french school holiday dates.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

French schools split their holidays into 3 zones, some staggered, some not. Unfortunately this list only gives dates from July:

This was culled from http://www.expatica.com/actual/article.asp?subchannel_id=25&story_id=26706#4

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS


ZONE A (GREEN) - Caen, Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Lyon, Montpellier, Nancy-Metz, Nantes, Rennes, Toulouse

ZONE B (BLUE) - Aix-Marseille, Amiens, Besançon, Dijon, Lille, Limoges, Nice, Orléans-Tours, Poitiers, Reims, Rouen, Strasbourg

ZONE C (GREY) - Bordeaux, Créteil, Paris, Versailles

The calendar for public school holidays is organized into three zones; some dates coincide for all three and others are staggered, most notably the 'Winter Vacation'. To check dates for your zone, see this website. (Note that private schools and some small number of public schools do not subscribe to the zone system and set their own calendar.)

July 4
Summer Break for all three zones

September 4
Back to School for all three zones — La Rentrée



October 27-November 7
Vacation of Toussaint for all three zones

Edit: Or just check the post above!

Helen Beaumont, thanks and to all others. I was curious because we've booked Tignes for the week commencing Sunday March 11th but there was limited choice of hotels both in Tignes and Val d'Isere whereas the week before and afterwards offered more opportunities.

No French holidays start w/c 11th March 2007, in fact no areas of France are holiday at that time.
