France observes 11 public holidays (jours fériés) per year, a mix of secular and Catholic celebrations. Unlike many countries, French labor law does not automatically guarantee a day off on public holidays — only May 1 (Labour Day) is a mandatory paid holiday. However, most employers grant all public holidays as paid leave. The French practice of 'faire le pont' (making a bridge) involves taking an extra day off to connect a public holiday with a weekend.
