Holiday breaks
Marseille spring school break: family trips
Service Public lists the Aix-Marseille academy (Zone B) school holidays. A published start date means the break begins after classes that day, and the end date is the morning pupils return, so it is not an inclusive holiday day; where there are no Saturday classes, the break effectively starts after Friday classes. The spring break crosses from April into May; a late-April departure keeps the example in April. Other zones and overseas academies differ.
