Francophone Cultures

La rentrée — literally "the return" — is the French word for the back-to-school season, and much more. It marks the moment in early September when France comes back to life after the long summer holidays: students return to class, offices refill, and cultural life resumes with new books, films, exhibitions and concerts. For the French, la rentrée is a national ritual and a fresh start — a perfect moment, too, to begin your own French journey. Bonne rentrée à tous !
