May 1st 2006 - France

Hi,
We are due to pull out of an exhibition north of Paris (Villepinte) and return to Calais on the 1st of May - is this likely to be a holiday in France and is HGV driving permitted on that day - we would be travelling by Motorway.
Many thanks - Andrew

It is listed as a holiday on my calendrier and as such the usual HGV movements will be banned, normally from midnight Saturday to 10pm Monday. There was some talk of a bank holiday being downgraded this year in aid of charity or something, not sure if it is this one though or how that would affect the law.
If I get the answer from one of my mates before Coffee dives in, I’ll let you know :unamused: :wink: :laughing:

Thanks for the info - I had thought it might be! If anyone else has any thoughts please let us know!
Andrew
