The essentials With nine bank holidays falling on weekdays, 2023 will be rich in long weekends if you plan your days off wisely. Here are some tips to take advantage of it.
Here’s some good news to get you excited for a quick move into 2023! This year, employees are luckier: Nine out of eleven public holidays fall on weekdays, compared to seven in 2022, our colleagues at France Info report. Even better, two-thirds are Mondays or Fridays, allowing for potential long weekends. So no more unnecessary public holidays that fall on a Sunday.
Six three-day weekends fall during the year: the weekend of Easter (Monday, April 10), the Labor Day (May 1), Allied victory of May 8, 1945 (Monday, May 8), the Pentecost (Monday, May 29), the national holiday (July 14) and Christmas (25 December).
Two possible four-day weekends
Provided you take a day off or an RTT, you can also benefit from two four-day weekends rise which falls on Thursday, May 18 and The Assumptionon Tuesday, August 15
For the luckiest (and strategists) it will also be possible to take a five to nine day break toussaint which falls on a Wednesday, November 1st. You can land upstream on Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st November and downriver on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd November to make the most of it.
