French Days 2026: dates and best deals

Updated : July 2026

The French Days are France's twice-a-year mini Black Friday. It's a good window for tech and appliances — provided you tell real drops from cosmetic rebates.

2026 dates

Spring French Days: April 29 to May 5, 2026.
Autumn French Days: September 22 to 28, 2026.

The event is run by major French retailers (Fnac, Darty, Boulanger, Cdiscount…), making it a good time to compare several sellers on the same product.

What's worth it

Tech, small appliances and brand products often see genuine discounts. But as with Black Friday, not everything is a deal: some "was" prices restart from an inflated level.

The anti-trap method

Check the price history: a discount only means something against the real price of past months.
Compare participating retailers: the gap often exceeds the advertised "discount".
Prepare your list beforehand and watch the target prices.

Miss nothing

Add your products to UniverTrack before the event: it already knows their usual price and alerts you only when the French Days drop is real.

Never overpay again

UniverTrack tracks the real price of your products, spots fake discounts and alerts you at the right time to buy.
