Sansculottides

The Sansculottides (French pronunciation: ​[sɑ̃kylɔtid]; also Epagomènes; French Sans-culottides, Sanculottides, jours complémentaires, jours épagomènes) are holidays following the last month of the year on the French Republican Calendar which was used following the French Revolution from approximately 1793 to 1805.

The Sansculottides, named after the Sansculottes, append the twelve, 30-day months of the Republican Calendar with five complementary days in a common year or six complementary days in a leap year so that the calendar year would approximately match the tropical year. They follow the last day of Fructidor, the last month of the year, and precede the first day of Vendémiaire.

The Sansculottides belong to the summer quarter. They begin on September 17 or 18 and approximately end on the autumn equinox, on September 22 or 23 on the Gregorian calendar.

In the decree of October 5, 1793 (le 14 du 1er mois de l'an II; later: le 14 Vendémiaire de l'an II) by the National Convention, the days following the last month of the year were named jours complémentaires and numbered serially. Only the leap day (jour intercalaire) received a name:

The other days, decades, and months were also serially numbered.

On October 24 (le 3 du 2e mois; later: le 3 Brumaire) of the same year, the poet Philippe-François-Nazaire Fabre, known as Fabre d'Églantine, made public his dislike of this naming convention ("le premier jour de la première décade du premier mois de la première année"). He suggested proper names for the months, the days of the months, and the days of the decades. For the jours complémentaires, he introduced the name Sansculottides. The individual days should have the following names:
