Here are the days you will have to take to intelligently transform your days of rest into real vacation periods, making the most of the public holidays and bridges offered by the 2025 calendar. Whether you are a fan of long getaways or long weekends, here is how optimize your free time and give you well-deserved breaks throughout the year.
May: the month of bridges
The month of May 2025 offers three excellent bridge opportunities:
- Labor Day (May 1, Thursday): Call off Friday, May 2 to get 4 days off.
- Victory 1945 (May 8, Thursday): Leave Friday May 9 for another 4-day weekend.
- Ascension (May 29, Thursday): Leave Friday May 30 for a third 4-day weekend.
By strategically taking 5 days off (May 2, 5, 6, 7 and 9), you can get 11 consecutive days of vacation from May 1 to 11!
Other interesting periods
- Easter: Easter Monday (April 21) already offers a 3-day weekend. Leave April 22, 23, 24 and 25 for a full week of vacation.
- July 14, National Day, falls on a Monday. Leave Friday July 11 or Tuesday July 15 to enjoy four days of relaxation.
