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.
