12 French proverbs for January to December


By Vicky Leigh

When it thunders in January, winter is cut short

If February starts like a lion it finishes like a lamb

Greenery in March is a bad omen

The April moon doesn’t pass without frost

When the blackbird sings in May, April has finished!

In June gloomy haze, only three difficult days

In the month of July, neither coat nor corset

August ripens the fruits, September picks them

If June makes quantity, September makes quality

A half rainy October makes the ploughman happy but the worried grape picker puts aside his old wine

Fog in November, winter will be tender

A cold and snowy December brings a rich and happy summer
