Public holidays in August 2026
| Date | Holiday | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday 15 August 2026 | Assumption Day | Falls on a weekend. |
France has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts. Whit Monday is counted as a public holiday, but many employers use it as the unpaid solidarity day (journée de solidarité), so it may be a working day for you. Alsace and Moselle add Good Friday and St Stephen's Day.
