Many of the images we have found showing French boys wearing rompers to school were taken mostly in the 1940s and 50s. This appears to have been the time when rompetrs were most popular in France, although they were also widely worn in the 1930s. We have not yet found examples from schools from 1930s or 60s, although we would guess that they were not unknown in nursery schools. Rompers appear very commonly in the 1940s. A good example is a French Algerian school in 1949. The school photographs here is from the mid-1950s (figure 1). Rompers was not a major school garment , but we do see some boys wearing them. This was mostly boys in Maternelle (nursery school) during mid-century. We do see some beginning primary boys, but not very many.

We also note boys wearing rompers to school in the 1950s. Primarily this was Maternelle (nursery school), but we note a few younger boys in promary school as well. Here we see the clasicl children fashion after World War II. There were only minor changes in the 19409s and 50s. This photograph was taken in 1951 (figure 1). This was a school in a little rural village. The boys wear their ordinary school garments. Note the variety of garments including rompers.
We still see French boys wearing rompers in the 1960s, especially the early 60s. We no longer see them very commonly atrt school, although soe boys probably wore them in Maternelle
