Public Holidays in Monaco, France & Italy

The French for: bank holiday/public holiday/legal holiday is un jour férié
  • Monegasque organisations and businesses close on public holidays. 
  • Although some shopping centres and grocers open for part of the day, the majority of shops do not. 
  • Police stations and hospitals do not close.
  • When a public holiday falls on a Thursday or Tuesday, it is common practice to "make the bridge" (faire le pont) by taking off the Friday or Monday so creating a very long weekend.
