This concerns 12.5 million pupils (and their parents).

All the same.

It actually punctuates the lives of almost all French people.

And for organized "people", it's already time to think about it!


The Ministry of National Education has just unveiled the school calendar for the year 2022-2023.

Holidays, bridges, public holidays…

And so what are the good plans for building bridges during the 2022-2023 school year?

Unlike this year 2022, the public holidays of May will fall on a Monday and not a Sunday!

Good news to stall family bridges even if May 1 and 8, 2023 will be during the spring break period in zones B and C.


In 2023, to be able to take advantage of a long weekend, you will have to wait until Thursday May 18 (might as well tell you that there won't be many people in the office on Friday May 19, 2023) or Tuesday August 15 (if you're not already on vacation).


For Ascension (which falls on Thursday May 18, 2023)

,

the Ministry of National Education has already decided that students will not have class on Friday May 19 and Saturday May 20.

Whit Monday falls on May 29, 2023, ten days later.
