It's strange how France is a country of charming contradictions. The French pride themselves on their lack of religion in national government since the Revolution, but they have more religious public holidays than even in Britain, nominally Christian! Easter, of course, but also Ascension on 25th of May, Pentecost on June 8th, Assumption on 15 August and All Saints on 1st November. You can ask people to give up their religion, perhaps but steer clear of suppressing their hols!
Bye for now, pensioners are always on holiday, they say!
