Hi Shirley

Do you know what their holidays are going to be for 2005 ?

They do have a really long summer holiday don't they.

I was thinking of booking for July 9th instead of June so as I could catch the Fantillusion parade and get there before the summer holiday masses.
But it doesn't look like it

School holidays in France vary a lot depending on the region.
Easter hols are a 2 week period any time between 8th April and 9th May. All schools finish on 2nd July. Sorry!!
