Notes

  • When a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, many will take the day in between it and the weekend off, which is called "faire le pont" (making a bridge).
  • The exact date of Eid ul-Fitr is subject to confirmation, as its celebration depends on the visibility of the moon.
  • On even-numbered years, the Assumption of Virgin Mary (Aug 15th) is a public holiday and on odd-numbered years, All Saints Day (Nov 1st) is a public holiday.
