Fixed dates for nearly all
Public Holidays in France
With the exception of those associated with Easter, Public Holidays in
France are fixed. In other words, Public Holidays do not move to attach
themselves to the nearest weekend as in the UK. However, French Public
Holidays falling on a Sunday are celebrated on the following Monday with
the exception of Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday, which always fall on a
Sunday. No time off in lieu is granted when a Public Holiday falls on a
Saturday as it is in the UK.
"Faire le Pont"
When a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, it is very common
to take the Friday or Monday off to create a long weekend (“faire le pont”).
Many businesses, especially the smaller ones are therefore closed for the
entire period, including many estate agencies.
