Ah! the French hate it, but the world is "le weekend", they imported the concept from English.

Edit :

The end of the week is not necessarily the weekend. If you are speaking of working days (i.e. if you have an assignment on Thursday or Friday), you would say "la fin de (la) semaine".

Ex: Tu as eu rendez-vous ? -Oui, ce sera en fin de semaine. Did you get an appointment? - Yes, that will be at the end of the week.

If you mean "weekend" in the English sense of the word, then the English word has been borrowed into French, with a slightly different spelling: "week-end", (hyphenated - masculine word).

So far, I've never heard of one of my fellow Frenchmen hating the word. We have no qualms about using English words when we don't have a simpler one.
