The French calendar starts on a Monday due to the influence of the ISO 8601 standard, which designates Monday as the first day of the week. This choice aligns with many European countries and reflects a cultural preference for organizing the workweek. Additionally, starting the week on a Monday helps to provide a clear distinction between weekdays and the weekend. The French Revolution also contributed to various reforms in calendar systems, but the Monday-start convention has persisted.
The French consider the week to start on Monday, but this is simply a calendar convention just as the American week starting on Sunday is a calendar convention. It does not change any dates or the work-week (which is still Monday-Friday).
The French week starts on Monday (lundi) and ends on Sunday (dimanche).
Yes, it does.
I can answer you the same thing: why does your calendar start with Sunday? You start your week on Monday, right? You go to your job on Monday, not Sunday. So it doesn't make any sense that your week calendar starts on Sunday.

I don't know... Maybe because Monday is the first day to the working week so the calendar begin by Monday.... Why is Saturday the last day in the English calendar?.. I have no idea about that...
The US standard of Sunday as the first day of the week is not observed in much of Europe, with Monday (lunes) often the first day of the calendar week.

Well, sweetheart, the day that follows Sunday is Monday. Unless you're living in some alternate universe with a different calendar, Monday is the next day after Sunday. So, get ready to start the week with a bang!
