About this calendar
In 2027, France observes 11 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Christmas Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
France runs a 35-hour statutory week from Monday to Friday. Public holidays that land on a weekend are simply lost, with no substitute day. The French answer to this is 'faire le pont': taking the bridge day when a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday.
