Equally important is the return to work, school, or daily routines in September, known as “La Rentrée.” This term, meaning “the return,” marks the end of the summer holidays and the beginning of a new cycle.In recent years, La Rentrée has evolved into a significant cultural event, symbolizing readiness and optimism as everyone gears up for the final months of the year. It signifies a time of renewal and transition, encompassing a fresh start with new activities, plans, and goals.La Rentrée reflects the French values of balancing work and leisure and the importance of routine and renewal in everyday life.
