In France, people use the word “rentrée” for the beginning of September.
It means the return after the summer holidays.

  • School starts again → la rentrée scolaire = back to school.
  • Books: many new books are published → la rentrée littéraire.
  • Politics: politicians go back to work → la rentrée politique.

So, rentrée = the moment when life starts again after summer.
