About Public Holidays in France
France's holidays mix republican commemorations with Catholic feasts. Bastille Day on July 14 is the national centrepiece, celebrated with the military parade on the Champs-Élysées and fireworks, while May 8 (Victory Day), November 11 (Armistice) and May 1 (Labour Day) mark the civic calendar. Catholic holidays such as Easter Monday, Ascension, Whit Monday, Assumption and All Saints' Day are public holidays, and Christmas is the year's great family celebration. The 'bridge' system lets French workers chain a holiday to a weekend for a long break.
In 2024, France observes 11 public holidays including 11 national, of which 1 falls on a weekend.
