Did you know...

  • That French public holidays that fall on a Sunday are taken the following Monday.

  • The only actual statuary public holiday in France is 'Labour Day' on the first of May the rest are by various negotiated agreements.

  • That a 'pont' is when a public holiday falls on a Thursday and some people also take the Friday off thus 'bridging' the holiday with the weekend.

  • Your bins/trash will not be collected on public holidays but are normally uplifted the following day...this  is a sure way to recognise the 'tourists' in the street!
