Movable holidays

[edit]

The following holidays are public holidays but the date on which each occurs varies, according to its corresponding calendar, and thus has no set date. In order in which they occur:

English Name Local Name Description
Easter Monday Lundi de Pâques Monday after Easter
Ascension Day Ascension Thursday, 40 days after Easter
Whit Monday Lundi de Pentecôte Seventh Sunday after Easter

Notes

[edit]

New Year's Day, Easter, Labor Day, Independence Day, All Saints' Day and Christmas Day are widely recognized and celebrated holidays. The other holidays listed are officially recognized by the government's Department of Labor (Direction Départementale du Travail) and are granted to government workers; the government requires that businesses operating in the country also recognize them, though employees, if even familiar with them, tend to prefer working as usual (with government-mandated overtime wages) on those days.
