A complete list of Public Holidays in France (Bank Holidays)
With the exception of those associated with Easter, Public Holidays in France are fixed. In other words, Public Holidays do not move to attach themselves to the nearest weekend as in the UK. And no time off in lieu is granted when a Public Holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, as it is in the UK.
The following are held on the same day each year:
New Year's Day - 1st January each year
Labour Day - 1st May each year
VE Day - 8th May each year
Bastille Day - 14th July each year
Assumption Day - 15th August each year
All Saints Day - 1st November each year
Armistice Day - 11th November each year
Christmas Day - 25th December each year
Boxing Day (only in the Moselle, the Bas-Rhin and the Haut-Rhin) - 26th December each year

The French government wants to reduce the number of Public Holidays from 11 (13 in certain the Moselle, the Bas-Rhin and the Haut-Rhin) to 10 (12). Please note that these figures exclude those Public Holidays which always fall on a Sunday (ie; Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday).
Most offices, businesses and shops in France will close for a Public Holiday although the smaller supermarkets in many towns will open for a couple of hours in the morning (except for on Christmas day). Bakers will operate a limited morning service as they do on Sundays. Restaurants can be relied upon to respond to the market demand so opening will depend upon place and season. Book well in advance for Christmas day though.
When a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, it is very common to take the Friday or Monday off to create a long weekend ("faire le pont"). Many businesses, especially the smaller ones are therefore closed for the entire period, including many estate agencies.
