- The first public holiday of the year falls on Easter Monday, April 10. In fact, by taking four days off after Easter Monday, you can accumulate nine days of rest, from Saturday April 8 to Sunday April 16.
In May
- The month of May will be synonymous with springtime singing, relaxation and long weekends with several timely public holidays. All in all, with just 6 well-placed days, it’s possible to take 18 days off in May. You’ll only work 12 days…
- Monday May 1 (Labour Day) and Monday May 8 (Armistice Day 1945) are public holidays. If you take 4 days off from Tuesday May 2 to Friday May 5, you’ll have 10 consecutive days of vacation!
- Thursday May 18 (Ascension Day) is a public holiday. If you take paid leave or RTT on Friday May 19, you get 4 extra days off.
- Monday May 29 (Pentecost) is a public holiday. By taking a final RTT on Friday May 26 or Tuesday May 30, you’ll enjoy another 4-day weekend.
In July
This year, July 14th falls on a Friday. It will therefore be possible to take nine days of vacation, from Saturday July 8 to Sunday July 16, with only four days off, from Monday July 10 to Thursday July 13. Better still, the following week, you get 10 days’ vacation with just 5 judiciously scheduled days off between Monday July 17 and Friday July 21.
In August
In August, Assumption Day (August 15) falls on a Tuesday. How about extending the summer vacations a little longer? Using the same trick as for previous months, you can benefit from 9 consecutive days off if you decide to take 4 days off on Monday August 14, Wednesday August 16, Thursday August 17 and Friday August 18.
All Saints’ Day
This year, November 1 falls on a Wednesday. If you take two days off on Monday October 30 and Tuesday October 31, you get 5 days off. With two extra days off, on Thursday November 2 and Friday November 3, it’s possible to get 9 days of vacation on Toussaint.
