French Holidays & Traditions is made up of twelve chapters - one for each month of the year, and each chapter contains one or two stories. These stories might relate to a holiday observed during that month, or they could relate to a tradition, which may not be associated with any particular date. Then, at the end of each chapter, you will find a list of holidays and observances for that month.
A handy reference for a monthly dose of French culture.
