What age do kids start primary school in france?

In France, school is compulsory from 6 to 16.

However the most part of the children go to school as soon as they are 3.

They go to "La Maternelle" (nursery school).

Usually, there is the "petite section" for 3 years old children, "moyenne section" for 4 years old children and the "grande section" for 5 years old children.

Then when they are 6 they enter primary school at the "CP : cours préparatoire"

Then their is CE1, CE2, CM1 and finally CM2 for 10 years old children.

That's it !
