How many of the 11 French bank holidays do you know? Which one is the only holiday when it is actually not allowed to work? (except of course, if you work at a hospital for instance). This episode will walk you through the French bank holidays and some of their origins and traditions. I’ll also tell you a few stories about France’s world-renowned passion for strikes! As you listen, pay attention to the structure used to say the date properly in French! You’ll learn French vocabulary along the way too ?
