Your school holidays, public holidays, and long weekends. Choose your
department once; everything else follows.
INDEPENDENT APP
Published by andronedev. It does not represent the French government, the
Ministry of National Education, or any other administration, and is neither
affiliated with nor endorsed by them. The official sources for all the
displayed data are listed at the bottom of this description and can be accessed
with a single tap from the app's Settings screen.
ONE SENTENCE, NOT A TABLE
The app opens with the answer, spelled out in full: "Holidays in two
weeks," "Back to school next Tuesday," "On holiday until Sunday." Nothing to decipher, nothing to count.
ALL TIMES OF THE YEAR
All Saints' Day, Christmas, winter, spring, summer: each period with its exact start and end dates for your zone, and the number of days it lasts.
YOUR ZONE, DEDUCTED FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT
Zone A, B, or C, your school district, and the correct public holiday calendar, including
the local law of Alsace-Moselle, which most applications ignore:
December 26 in all three departments, and Good Friday according to municipal regulations. Metropolitan France and overseas territories.
Teachers and students don't have the same start dates: the 2026 school year begins on September 1 for teachers and August 31 for students. Your profile
decides.
HIGH BREAKFASTS, CALCULATED
"Take 2 days off, get 5 days off." All the year's opportunities are ranked by profitability, with the exact days to take off shown one by one. Tell us how many vacation days you can use, and the app calculates your year.
It also tells you when a public holiday falls on a weekend and doesn't generate any profit,
rather than ignoring it.
EVERYTHING IS IN THE APP
The calendars are built-in: no account, no login, nothing to
download on first launch. On a plane, on the subway, abroad, the app
is there for you. New school years arrive with app updates, as soon as they are published by the Ministry.
ALSO
• Twelve months in continuous scrolling, school year or calendar year
• A widget on the home screen
• Reminders before holidays, the day before public holidays, and in January for your long weekends
• Export to your calendar
• Light and dark themes, and your wallpaper color on Android 12 and
more
READABLE FOR EVERYONE
Color is never the only channel: a holiday period is represented by a continuous line
under its entire duration, a public holiday by a dot under the number. The two are distinguishable regardless of color vision.
