Fructidor is the twelfth month in the French Republican calendar and the third month of the summer quarter based on the Gregorian calendar. It is a shorthand term for Coup of 18 Fructidor.

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..
