How it reads on exam day
The exam is in French, so this is the question you will see: « Quel jour célèbre-t-on la Journée de l'Europe ? ». Learn the English idea above and the French words in the options.
This question comes from the naturalisation version of the exam (Ministry list read on 14 October 2026). The Ministry's wording: “Quand est célébrée la journée de l'Europe ?”.
