What are the public holidays in 2022?
Scrutinized by most employees, the calendar will be quite interesting this year.
In 2022, four of them fall during the weekend – including Saturday January 1, which has already passed – four on a Friday or Monday and three in the middle of the week.
Asking 17 days of vacation on specific dates (see infographic below) will allow you to obtain 40 days of vacation.
So much time saved to treat yourself to a stay in town, in the mountains or on the coast, or even a more rare and distant trip.

What are the dates of public holidays in 2022 and 2023?
Public holidays: what days of leave to take in 2022 to take advantage of the bridges?
The first possibility is offered in
April
on Easter Monday (April 18).
By asking on Friday the 15th, you get four days off;
an opportunity to take advantage of the arrival of fine weather.
Note that this day is a public holiday in Alsace-Moselle (departments of Moselle, Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin) where it corresponds to Good Friday.
In
May
, thanks to Ascension Thursday (May 26), requesting leave on Friday the 27th gives you a four-day bridge.

At the beginning of
June
, without sacrificing holidays, you enjoy a three-day weekend thanks to Whit Monday (June 6).
Here, the trick is to ask every working day between these two holidays (i.e. from Thursday May 26 to Monday June 6 inclusive): betting six days off will result in 12 days of rest.
Enough to treat yourself to a short vacation before the big ones!
In November 2022, 8 days of leave free up 16 days of vacation
In
July
, we will celebrate the National Day (July 14) on a Thursday.
Leave the office on Friday the 15th to enjoy a four-day weekend.
In
August
, the Assumption (August 15) is celebrated on a Monday, which automatically extends your weekend by one day.
To have four days, also ask on Friday, August 12.
Like May,
November
proves to be particularly advantageous.
As All Saints' Day (November 1) is celebrated on a Tuesday, asking on Monday, October 31 frees you up for a four-day weekend.
The weeks of October 31 and November 7 each contain two public holidays.
By being absent for these two weeks (i.e. 8 holidays), you obtain 16 days of rest (i.e. from Saturday October 29 to Sunday November 13 inclusive).
In
December
, the calendar does not offer a gift: Christmas (December 25) will be celebrated on a Sunday, just like New Year 2023.
