Much better go 13 March if you can, as the big French hols will have finished.

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

We went there a few years ago on the 9th March just after french school holidays and the resort wasn't that busy. However snow bizz had loads of under 5s in the toton class and said it was one of their busiest weeks for under 5s. If you have an under 5 I would ask whether they have more one week than the other and book the less busy week. For the over 5s it doesn't matter so much as the beginners will be out of the nursery area within a day or so.
Not having been in the french school holiday week it is hard to know how busy it would be. However I think the french ski school has its own nursery area so it would not affect the beginners area used by snow bizz. Maybe there would be a slight queue for the lift near the accommodation.
As long as you avoid the UK half term week I think you'll be fine.
Snow bizz do have a lovely set up in puy st vincent. The accommodation, creche, ski school is all in one place. Their staff are lovely and the MD is on hand if you ever have any worries. Our daughter skied for the first time with the totons on her 3rd birthday and loved it!

Roughneck, I would ring Wendy in the office - her husband, Michel, is the MD and he's based in the resort all season and he'd know how busy it gets. Puy is a small resort not linked to any other resort (apart from driving) so there's no throughfare like you'd get in the larger resorts, so you might be ok. We went last March (but later than you're intending) and it was fine, I rang Wendy and spoke with her at length about all sorts of things and she's very helpful.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We're going to Puy St Vincent with Snowbizz on 6th March - I didn't realise it was still the French School holidays that week  Are they finishing a week later than usual?

Like the British school hols, French ones do vary from year to year - this year they finish a bit later than usual, probably 'cos of Easter being so late.
