Public holidays in France

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

French etching from 1789 depicting the storming of the Bastille, commemorated as Bastille Day

There are eleven official public holidays in France.[1] The Alsace region and the Moselle department observe two additional days.[2] These holidays do not shift when they fall during a weekend,[3] which means that the average number of observed public holidays falling on weekdays is 8.7 and ranges from seven to ten.[4] Most Asian countries and all North American countries observe between two and ten more public holidays per year on weekdays.[5]

Notes

Note: French law dictates that work should stop, but be paid only for the Fête du Travail (May Day, 1 May),[21] except in industries where it is infeasible to stop working.[22] The rest of the public holidays are listed in statute law,[23] but law does not dictate that work should stop; however a leave from work may be granted by the employer or by convention collective (agreement between employers' and employees' unions).

In 2005, French prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin removed Pentecost (Whit) Monday's status as a public holiday. This decision was eventually overruled by French courts in 2008.[citation needed] Employers are free to decide whether to make Whit Monday a day off or not.[24]
