Note: French law dictates that work should stop, but be paid, only for the Fête du Travail (May Day, 1 May),[14] except in industries where it is infeasible to stop working.[15] The rest of the public holidays are listed in statute law,[16] but law does not dictate that work should stop; however a leave from work may be granted by the employer or by convention collective (agreement between employers' and employees’ unions).
