Market background: consumer lifestyles: leave entitlement
Article Abstract:
The French are allowed a minimum of five weeks or 25 legal leave days. This leave entitlement makes the country have a higher level of annual holiday days than the European average. The French usually take their leave in the month of August, the time when a number of companies continue to completely close down operations. It is also important to mention that the French people observe ten public holidays. In addition, public holidays are often linked to a weekend, resulting in many "short break" holidays.
