Le Calendrier Français

The French week begins on Monday and ends at le week-end, a word borrowed from neighbours north of the channel; however,
you'll find older speakers - and the more patriotic - still use la fin de semaine.
When writing dates, Frenchies jot them down in the format: day * day# * month * year - par example: dimanche 1er novembre 2013.
So, next time you're quizzed: "quel jour sommes-nous?", or "quelle est la date?", you can reply: "c'est le 20", or - if
you're a perfectionist - "aujourd'hui, nous sommes le jeudi 20 mars 2013, monsieur/madame."
