French School Calendar 2027-2028: Zone B Gets Best Holiday Deal
Listen to the story
France has a new school calendar for 2027-2028. Schools in France are in three groups. These groups are called zones. The zones are A, B, and C. Each zone has different school holidays.
This year, Zone B is very lucky. Many public holidays in Zone B are close to school breaks. This means families in Zone B can have longer rest time. They do not need to use many days off from work.
People also want to know about the new school year 2026. The new school timetable is now ready. Parents can check the dates for their children's school.
Many workers also want longer holidays. They can use a smart method. This method helps them use very few RTT days. RTT days are extra rest days from work. With this method, people can rest more but use fewer RTT days.
