France's 2029 school holidays are shaped by an early Easter (1 April) that places spring breaks in late March and early April across all zones. The three-zone rotation continues to stagger Toussaint, winter, and spring breaks.
All Saints' (Toussaint) school holidays benefit from All Saints' Day (1 November, Friday) โ the break ends with an automatic three-day weekend for families.
Summer 2029: Bastille Day (14 July, Saturday) falls within the summer holidays but provides no mid-week national holiday weekend. France's ~8-week summer break runs from early July to early September.
Christmas 2029: Christmas school holidays run from approximately 20 December 2029 to 6 January 2030 for all zones. Christmas Day (25 December, Wednesday) is mid-week โ the school break provides the rest period that the public holiday placement alone cannot.
