I am thinking of taking a 1/2 day course at one of their locations at the end of February. When I checked their web site, it stated "desole"..ie no courses. I know there are school vacations at the beginning of Feb but by the end of the month this should not be an issue..Are schedules just printed 1 mo before?

That's too bad. I passed that web site to a friend on another forum.

topping..Does anyone know whether the schedules are just published a month in advance or are there really no classes the last week in Feb?

Here is the "Education Nationale" web site where you can see the "calendrier des vacances" in 2006 :
