La Rentrée
September means back to school - La Rentrée. Here's the French school calendar for 2017/18.
Events in France
Here are two events coming up in France. The first is Journées européennes du Patrimoine - European Heritage Days taking place September 16-17. Journées européennes du Patrimoine is a great way to see buildings in France normally closed to the public. Another plus, public museums in France are free, and private museums offer reduced admission.
Tous au Restaurant is September 18-October 1. Similar to Journées européennes du Patrimoine, Tous au Restaurant is a celebration of French food heritage, with participating restaurants offering a two for one 'Tous au Restaurant' menu - two people can eat for the price of one.
