What was the fructidorian coup?
The Fructidorian Coup, which occurred on September 4, 1797 (12 Fructidor, Year V in the Revolutionary calendar), was a significant political event in France during the post-revolutionary period. It involved a coup d'état by the Directory, a five-member committee that governed France, which sought to eliminate the influence of royalists and conservative factions in the government. The coup resulted in the arrest of several royalist leaders and the alteration of electoral laws to suppress royalist candidates, effectively consolidating the Directory's power and ensuring a more radical republican government. This event marked a critical moment in the ongoing struggle between revolutionary ideals and conservative forces in France.

When did the French Second Republic end?
Gradually. Napoleon as First Consul removed the 10-day week, returning to 7. Then on 22 fructidor an XIII (9 septembre 1805), under the Empire, the Senate decreed that the Gregorian calendar would be reinstated on11 nivôse, 1 janvier, 1806. It's worth mentioning that the French are deeply conservative in many ways - I know French people who still count in francs instead of Euros, and in Old Francs at that, 50 years after the reform of the currency - and that practically nobody outside official bulletins ever really used the Republican Calendar except insofar as the 10-day week impacted their working lives..
