First, I apologize if my answer shows up twice.  I was double-checking something in the original article and my answer went away.  I think the article says the same thing, but I do not know if that that is a common French understanding of the timeline.  Among evangelicals in America, Canada, and France, the traditional timeline would be that Jesus was crucified on a Thursday and rose again on a Sunday.  That allows for the three days in the tomb by the Jewish reckoning of days starting at evening and continuing into the next day:  Thursday evening/Friday morning is one day, Friday evening/Saturday morning is the second day, Saturday evening/Sunday morning is the third day.  So, I can't speak to the broader understanding of it in Europe, but there's a peek into the evangelical understanding (and as an additional note -- the timeline for resurrection events in my French Bible lines up with that in my English Bible).
