Not sure where you get 6 from, Damian ! There are 4 this month alone (1st, 8th, 17th, 28th) and when you add those to Xmas Day, New Years Day, Easter Monday, All Saints Day (1/11), Armistice Day (11/11), Bastille Day (14/7) and Assumption (15/8) I make it 11.
Even as a FOTL (Francophile on the list) those holidays plus the 35 hour a week contracts French government workers enjoy means the question should actually be: Are the French just bloody workshy ?

I've just seen that there are 9 public holidays in England this year. 9!! that's 3 more than here in France, and France has the world's highest productivity to justify its 6 public holidays. Are the English just bloody workshy?
