Thank you for your help, I tried to use your code and it doesn’t seem to work quite yet. Also I made some modifications :

<?php
// get the entire repeater in a multidimensional array
$repeater = get_field('agenda_test');
// set starting month and count
// we need a counter to know if we're on the first row
$previous_month = '';
$count = 0;				
foreach ($repeater as $row) {
  echo "</br>";
  var_dump($row);
  // make sure that your date field is returning a valid date format
  // or this will not work
  $this_month = date('F', strtotime($row['date']));
  if ($this_month != $previous_month) {
     // month has changed
     if ($count > 0) {
       // close the previously opened container
       // the container is opened below						
       ?>
       </div><!-- .month -->
       <?php 
     } // end in count > 0 (i.e. not first row)
     // open a new container and display the month
     ?>
     <div class="month">
     <div class="the_month"><?php echo $this_month; ?></div>
     <?php
     // update previous month value for next loop
     $previous_month = $this_month;
   } // end if new month
   // output additional sub fields here
   // increment count
   $count++;
} // end foreach row
?>

And this what I get in return:

array(2) { [“date”]=> string(10) “02/02/2019” [“texte_test”]=> string(42) “Premier texte de ce qu’il se passe ce mois” }
February

array(2) { [“date”]=> string(10) “15/02/2019” [“texte_test”]=> string(28) “Un autre texte pour février” }
January

array(2) { [“date”]=> string(10) “05/04/2019” [“texte_test”]=> string(53) “Un texte pour le mois d’acril, mais écrit avant mars” }
May

array(2) { [“date”]=> string(10) “10/04/2019” [“texte_test”]=> string(29) “Ce texte est pour le 10 avril” }
October

array(2) { [“date”]=> string(10) “02/03/2019” [“texte_test”]=> string(27) “Le jour de mon anniversaire” }
February

I guess I have to format the date in some way, though I don’t know how. Also, I want the months in french if possible….
