  • The French for public holiday is un jour férié, the German word is gesetzliche Feiertage and the Luxembourgish word is Feierdag.
  • When a public holiday falls on a Thursday or Tuesday, it is common practice to "make the bridge" (faire le pont) by taking off the Friday or Monday to make a long weekend.
  • Public holidays that fall on a Sunday are usually observed on the following Monday.
