This year, Ramadan in France begins on March 1, 2025. This holy month of the Muslim religion encourages observers to fast from dawn until dusk. This is one of the five pillars of Islam. The end of Ramadan is marked by the feast of Eid-el-Fitr. But when will this take place?

The start and end dates of Ramadan are first estimated according to astronomical calculations, before being officially confirmed on what is known as the Night of Doubt.
