Les ponts de mai

When a bank holiday falls on or near a weekend it's an occasion of great joy, because you can take an extra day's holiday and have a long weekend (faire le pont).

This May is very auspicious because we have : Fri 1 May, Fri 8 May, Thu 22 May. That makes THREE LONG WEEKENDS ! Amazing.

It does mean that the roads will be completely blocked with holidaymakers, mind you.

Meanwhile the Assemblée Nationale are debating le travail dominical (Sunday working), at present strictly regulated to preserve the calm and quiet of a continental Sunday with the shops all closed.
