Mark your calendars, 2024 and its public holidays are on the horizon

Please note that 2024 is a leap year and May has 19 working days.

Autumn is here, and it's time to take a look at what's in store for next year's festive season. A great opportunity to cross off a diary of great weekendsâeuros!

Due to the leap year, we'll have to work an extra day in 2024, with 252 working days compared with 251 this year. 10 of the 11 public holidays fall on weekdays, including four in May alone.

Three-day weekends await you on New Year's Day, Easter, All Saints' Day, November 11 and Pentecost, unless this day is chosen as a solidarity day.

It will also be possible to take a day off on Friday May 10 and Friday August 16.
In 2025, on the other hand, three four-day bridges will be possible during the month of May!
