In 2020, the "weekends" will be longer: 12

By 2020, there will be 16 national holidays plus three days added as "holidays for tourism purposes". The figure is the same as it has been repeated for years, but unlike 2018 and 2019, the added "bridge days" will not only be "inactive" for the public sector and the banking sector, but they will be new complete vacation. .

In addition, 2020 will be the year with the greatest number of long weekends of the decade: there will be 12.

The difference with 2019 is notorious: this year, there are only seven, and three of them for "non-working days" that did not cover all the elements of activity.

The difference is explained by one reason: in 2019, many national holidays defined by law as non-transferable fell between Tuesday and Thursday, or Saturdays and Sundays.

In 2020, it will be 12 if we add the eight days generated by the holidays and the three days added by the holidays.

In 2018, they were 10 long weekends. In 2017 and 2016, there were nine. In 2015, 11.

The following year 's holiday calendar was defined yesterday, when the decree establishing the three "bridge days", which are added to the holidays governed by the law, was known.

Two holidays will be transferable in 2020, according to the Ministry of the Interior: that of July 17 will go to Monday, November 15 and November 20 to Monday, November 23.
