Vendémiaire was the first month in the French Republican Calendar. The month was named after the French word vendange (grape harvest).
Vendémiaire was the first month of the autumn quarter (mois d'automne). It started at the autumnal equinox which was between September 22 and September 24. It ended between October 21 and October 23. It follows the Sansculottides of the past year and precedes Brumaire.
