History Fact
For 12 years during the French Revolutionary Period, France had a whole new calendar.
Not just that, but they also had a whole new timekeeping system too!
Between 1793 and 1805, the ruling French government used the French Republican Calendar to remove all religious and royalist ties to the old calendar.
It was also part of a wider effort decimalize France in terms of time, currency and metrication.
The French Republican Calendar had 10-hour days, with 100 minutes to an hour, and 100 seconds to a minute.
Whilst this crazy calendar did have 12 months, each one of these months was 30 days. They were all given new names that reflected a meaning for each season.
For example one in winter was named Nivôse, which is Latin for “snow”.
