In the UK we also get 8 bank/public holidays off per year. If one of those holidays falls on a weekend, we get the following monday off.
In France, as I understand, if a public holiday falls on a weekend, then tough... no holiday. Not that I'm defending the French (or anyone else) of course... cf "Yes Minister" UK sitcom, eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIXH3-A8zMI .
