France's 2028 school holidays benefit from a leap year calendar and a well-placed Easter (16 April). Spring school holidays fall in mid-to-late April across all three zones. The three-zone system continues to stagger Toussaint, winter, and spring breaks to reduce travel congestion.
May 2028: Labour Day (1 May, Monday) and Victory in Europe Day (8 May, Monday) create two long weekends during the school year. Ascension Day (25 May, Thursday) may trigger a bridge day Friday in some areas.
Summer 2028: Bastille Day (14 July, Friday) falls within the summer holidays for all zones โ a three-day national holiday weekend mid-summer. France's ~8-week summer break runs from early July to early September.
Christmas 2028: Christmas school holidays run from approximately 21 December 2028 to 7 January 2029 for all zones. Christmas Day on a Monday gives the break a clean structure.
