Seasons: les saisons


France has four seasons (la saison) as she is in the temperate zone (la zone tempérée).
To celebrate the return of spring, let's learn how to say the seasons in French: le printemps, l'été, l'automne et l'hiver.

The gender for all of them is masculine.

In the Northern hemisphere (l'hémisphère nord), Spring (le printemps) starts on March 21.
Summer (l'été) starts on June 21.
Autumn (l'automne) starts on September 21.
Winter (l'hiver) starts on December 21.

In the Southern hemisphere (l'hémisphère sud), Spring (le printemps) starts on September 21.
Summer (l'été) starts on December 21.
Autumn (l'automne) starts on March 21.
