French festivals and celebrations


Festivals and Celebrations are a part of the new GCSE syllabus, and we are always looking for cultural aspects to include in our French lessons in Key Stage 2.  Yesterday's post had a list of Spanish special days, so today here is the list for French.  Again, if I have missed any, please let me know in the comments.
