But this reform was put on hold after two years or so and it never reappeared. There was also an attempt to decimalize the day's subunits, with 1 day = 10 hours, 1 hour = 100 minutes and 1 minute = 100 seconds. For programming purposes, they are considered as a 13th month (much shorter than the 12 others). Since a year lasts 365.25 days (or so), five additional days (or six on leap years) are added after Fructidor. In his book The French Revolution, the XIXth century writer Thomas Carlyle proposes these translations for the month names: Vendémiaire -> Vintagearious Brumaire -> Fogarious Frimaire -> Frostarious Nivôse -> Snowous Pluviôse -> Rainous Ventôse -> Windous Germinal -> Buddal Floréal -> Floweral Prairial -> Meadowal Messidor -> Reapidor Thermidor -> Heatidor Fructidor -> FruitidorĮach month has a duration of 30 days. But it was not practical, so Romme proposed a leap year rule similar to the Gregorian calendar rule. It was therefore in tune with the republic's motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity".
First, the republic had been established on 22 September 1792, which happened to be the equinox, and second, the equinox was the symbol of equality, the day and the night lasting exactly 12 hours each. In addition, all months have exactly 3 décades, no more, no less.Īt first, the year was beginning on the equinox of autumn, for two reasons. Therefore, the week disappeared, replaced by the décade. An attempt to apply the decimal rule (the basis of the metric system) to the calendar. The Revolutionary calendar was in use in France from 24 November 1793 (4 Frimaire II) to 31 December 1805 (10 Nivôse XIV). It means a ten- day period.įor your information, the French word for a ten-year period is décennie. This French word is not the translation of the English word "decade" (ten-year period). The documentation uses the word décade (the first "e" having an acute accent). This module implements most methods of DateTime see the DateTime(3) manpage for all methods.
