French School Holidays Zone B (Alpes-Maritimes & Var)

The school calendar for the Cote d'Azur: when schools of the Riviera close for vacations and the children are on holiday. The calendar includes the dates of summer holidays, half-term, the spring break and the Christmas break.

These are the dates for Government School Calendar in Zone B which includes the Alpes-Maritimes and Var

Private schools may have slightly different dates for the school vacations; you will need to check with the relevant school.

Note: As of the new school year of September 2008 there are no longer Saturday morning classes for kindergarten and primary age children.

  • The school week is 24 hours long. Some schools opt for a four day week with six hours of classes per day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; others adopt a five day week (Monday to Friday)
  • The school day's hours vary between regions but is generally 08:30-16:30 with two breaks
