What if this year, calculating your leave became your best strategy for dropping out? With ten weekday holidays and easy-to-create bridges, the 2025 calendar is full of promise for those who dream of long breaks without sacrificing all their days off.
Spring: a playground for spending your days off
For the year 2025, ten of the eleven public holidays fall on weekdays. This configuration offers interesting opportunities for those who know how to plan their days off well. In May, the month of bridges par excellence, the three public holidays land on Thursdays, making it possible to create four-day weekends by only having a Friday. A simple tip to take full advantage of spring while keeping days off in reserve, for summer for example.
In April, Easter brings its share of celebrations with Monday the 21st public holiday. A simple Friday before or a Tuesday after will give you a mini-week of vacation. This month of May, with its cascading bridges, still remains one of the most anticipated times of the year. A few strategically placed days are enough to grant yourself up to 11 consecutive days of rest.
-Summer and fall: welcome breaks to recharge the batteries
In July, July 14 falls on a Monday, ooffering a perfect long weekend for those who dream of sun and festivities. In August, Friday the 15th for the Assumption extends the summer a little with a long weekend. Autumn is not to be outdone: in November, Tuesday 11 will make it possible to make a four-day bridge by taking the previous Monday, ideal for a getaway before the end-of-year holidays.
The December calendar crowns this already very generous year 2025. With Christmas falling on a Thursday, Friday December 26 guarantees you a long festive weekend. An ideal time to get together with family or go to the mountains before preparing for the arrival of 2026. But let’s already enjoy this year 2025!
