Rentrée

The week at the beginning of September when the new school year starts and around which much of French administrative life revolves. The preceding weeks see intensive advertising of associated merchandise, from books and stationery to clothes and sports equipment. Many stores and supermarkets have a range of special purchases at bargain prices. The concept of the rentrée also extends to literary, political and other activities which are resumed after the period of the grandes vacances in July and August when businesses can close for up to a month. La rentrée littéraire marks the start of the literary year and la rentrée parlementaire signals the reassembly of Parliament after the recess.
