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 :-)

Advise me about French school holiday dates
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I'm thinking of attempting France this year, dedicated Austria and Switzerland skiing in previous years.
As we are now child free we'd like to avoid the school holidays, I can find out the UK ones and believe the French stagger theirs.
Can anyone offer advice about when to go?

Essentially avoid the last 3 weeks of Feb and the first week of March.

janette,
France,
zone A: 7-21 Feb
zone B: 14-28 Feb
zone C: 21 Feb - 7 March. This is the zone that includes Paris, often considered to be the worst one for traffic.

The first and last week have only one zone on holiday, the middle two have two zones. Try to be at home then.
