The Origin of the French New Year

New Year's Day refers to the first day of the year.

New Year's Day in France was originally 1 in April every year. It was not until 1564 10/4 that King Charles IX changed it to 1.

The French regard the weather on New Year's Day as the New Year's Year: the south wind blows-the weather is good in the New Year; The west wind blows-fishing and milking have a bumper harvest year; When the east wind blows, the fruit will be fruitful. Therefore, people are most concerned about the weather forecast on the first day of New Year's Day.
