I have seen that Monday May 12th is a French holiday (Petecost),re-instated this year.
Can anyone confirm this?
Critically,is the usual truck ban in place ?
Responses asap,please,as I don’t want to be parked for two days.
It is a holiday monday12th May with a ban, but strange,it’s for Joan of Arc.
One mate on the bins is working normally.Two others have collections in Nantes & La Rochelle respectively & will be there at 0800 Monday.
Other drivers have been told the factories they are going to wil be closed.
Best idea! Put a sign in your windscreen saying “MY GRANDAD BURNT JEANNE OF ORLEANS” got me out of trouble many times. 
Pentecost reinstated this year ? ,its always been a holiday ,only difference this year is that yesterday was Liberation day and they are taking today as holiday (at least our local Super U is) and making it a “pont” weekend.
Didn’t they try to make Pentecost a working day without pay or something to help all us oldies who didn’t die in the ‘kanicule’ (heatwave) of 2003 from dying in the next one? 
Didn’t work, surprise surprise, thus the ‘reinstatement’. 
So we’ve got to look after ourselves again Kerbut. 
It is also a holiday in Belgium & Germany.
It is Whitsun which is taken 7 weeks from Easter
For us in the UK we always take it as the last Monday in May
When ever you do get to take it enjoy.
