About the French Revolutionary Calendar: The French Republican calendar was imposed on France by Law on 5 Oct 1793. Dates were calculated from the Autumn Equinox.  22 Sep 1792, which became the first day of An I ("Year 1"). The standard year was split into 12 thirty day months with five (or six) additional days (depending on leap years). The thirty day months were named by the distinguished poet Fabre d'Eglantine, each month having its own appropriate symbolism,
three months were assigned to each season: 
   The autumn months were named Vendémiaire ("month of vintage"), Brumaire ("month of fog, mist"), and Frimaire ("month of frost"); the winter months, Nivose ("month of snow"), Pluviose ("month of rain"), and Ventose ("month of wind"); the spring months, Germinal ("month of seed, budding"), Floréal ("month of blossoms"), and Prairial ("month of meadow"); and the summer months, Messidor("month of harvest"), Thermidor ("month of heat"), and Fructidor ("month of fruits"). Each of these months was subdivided into three décades of ten days: Primidi, Duodi, Tridi, Quartidi, Qunintidi, Sextidi, Septidi, Octidi, Nonidi, and Decadi the day of rest. 
   The five (or six) days remaining at the end of the year were designated national holidays or san culottides: jour de la vertu ("virtue day"), jour du génie ("genius day"), jour du labour ("labor day"), jour da la raison ("reason day"), jour de la récompense ("reward day"), and jour de la révolution ("revolution day") on leap years.
  For obvious reasons, the calendar was unwieldy, impractical, and unpopular. Reforms were proposed, but instead Napoleon ordered the reintroduction of the traditional Gregorian calendar on 1 Jan 1806, thus condemning to death the Revolutionary calendar on 10 Nivose XIV.
