France's 2030 public holiday calendar has a late Easter (21 April) and Bastille Day on a Sunday — no weekday benefit for France's national holiday. Labour Day and Victory in Europe Day both fall on Wednesdays — mid-week holidays with limited long weekend potential.

Easter Monday (22 April) is a public holiday. Ascension Day (30 May, Thursday) is the prime spring bridge day — taking Friday 31 May creates a four-day weekend. Whit Monday (9 June) follows two weeks later.

All Saints' Day (1 November, Friday) delivers the year's most convenient placement — automatic three-day Toussaint weekend. Armistice Day (11 November) falls on a Tuesday in 2030 — taking Monday 10 November as leave creates a four-day weekend for this important commemorative holiday. Christmas Day (25 December, Wednesday) requires leave for a longer festive break.
