This year, only seven of the eleven holidays fall on weekdays, but you can still enjoy three big bridges and four three-day weekends.
This January 1 that fell on a Saturday did not foreshadow anything good. And, indeed, 2022 will not be a favorable year for public holidays for employees. Of the eleven on the calendar, seven fall on weekdays – the minimum possible – and May 1 and 8 fall on a Sunday. But rest assured, you can still enjoy three big bridges – provided you have three days of leave or RTT – and four three-day weekends.
Four three-day weekends in 2022
Easter weekend, from April 16 to 18, Monday April 18 being a public holiday. The weekend of Pentecost, from June 4 to 6 (Monday June 6 remaining non-working in a certain number of companies). From August 13 to 15, the Assumption also falls on a Monday. FROM November 11 to 13, November 11 falling on a Friday this year.
The days to ask to benefit from three big bridges
By taking three days of leave or RTT, you will also be able to benefit from three large four-day bridges.
Ascension: Thursday May 26 being a holiday, you will have to ask on Friday 27 to benefit from a four-day weekend. The same goes for July 14, which this year falls on a Thursday. By posing on Friday the 15th, you will be able to have four days of rest. Finally, November 1 falls on a Tuesday. By putting down your Monday, October 31, you will be able to benefit from a long All Saints weekend.
