The French Revolutionary calendar, which was in use during the French Revolution, introduced a new system of ten-day weeks. The first day of this calendar, known as Primidi, was equivalent to the old Gregorian calendar dates of September 22nd or 23rd. Therefore, the specific day of the week on which the French calendar began varied from year to year. Without the specific year, it is not possible to determine the corresponding weekday accurately.
