School Holidays Lorraine 2026
The Lorraine zone, part of academic zone B of the French national education system, shapes the school life of many cross-border workers who live in France and commute to Luxembourg or Germany. Its holiday schedule is set each year by the Ministry of Education. For families in the Greater Region, aligning Lorraine school breaks with those in Luxembourg or the Saarland is often a logistical challenge. This complete calendar helps you plan ahead, with French public holidays and potential bridge days clearly identified for each year.
