May is going to be a nice month of extra long weekends for most French workers, but it's not going to be of much help to the country’s limping economy.
Over the four and a half weeks of May, there were will be three public holidays and each happens to fall on a Thursday. That makes them prime candidates for what the French call ‘ponts’ or bridges in English, which are simply extended weekends and give workers the chance to head to the coast or into the country.
