Note: From the start of the 2006-2007 school year some pre-primary and
primary schools in certain départements have chosen to do away with
school on Saturday in favour of a different weekly schedule. These schools may
have a slightly different school calendar and slightly reduced holidays in order
to make up the extra time.
