Many long weekends are expected in 2024 thanks to public holidays. Here are the days to stay nearby to enjoy it.
Many are waiting for them… Holidays constitute our history, and also allow us to have moments of respite during the year, except when they fall on a Saturday or Sunday. The best is for them to fall on a Monday or Friday in order to have a three-day weekend or a Tuesday and Thursday to be able to rest for just one day and enjoy 4 days of peace and quiet.
Public holidays will fall this way next year. Note that, unlike this year, 10 out of 11 public holidays fall on weekdays! Only the national holiday, July 14, will fall on a Sunday. Otherwise, here are the days concerned for long weekends to plan: The New Year falls on Monday January 1, 2024, Easter Monday falls on Monday April 1, 2024, Pentecost Monday falls on Monday May 20, 2024, All Saints’ Day falls on Friday November 1, 2024, the day of commemoration of The armistice of 1918 falls on Monday November 11, 2024.

And if you wait a week, you will simply to take your Monday, your Tuesday and your Friday to have a whole week off. Indeed, May 8 (victory of 1945) falls on a Wednesday, Ascension Thursday falls on May 9.
The summer season is also affected since August 15 falls on a Thursday. So you can call off Friday the 16th and enjoy a 4-day weekend. Speaking of Christmas, December 25 falls on a Wednesday in 2024. You can therefore set your Monday as well as your Tuesday or your Thursday and your Friday. Also, December 26 is public holiday for the departments of Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin and Moselleso those affected will have only one day to spare for a five-day long weekend.
