Consult the dates of public holidays in 2027. Public Service reminds you of the main rules that apply to employees on those days. Article L. 3133-1 of the Labor Code sets out the list of statutory holidays considered as public holidays.

Reminder
Public holidays may be off work or worked and paid on conditions which vary according to the days concerned (1er May or other). In some cases, they also allow you to benefit from a bridge.
May 1
The 1er may is the only day of compulsory work for all employees, as work is only planned for that day in certain establishments and services (hospitals, public transport,...) where work cannot be interrupted due to the nature of the activity.
Other public holidays
Other holidays may exist in a region, a locality or in certain sectors of activity. This is the case, for example, in Alsace and Moselle, which also benefit from Good Friday and December 26.
Bridges
The employer may also grant a bridge to employees, in particular between 1 or 2 days of weekly rest and a public holiday. The hours lost due to the bridge can be recovered, as employees are required to work the lost hours on another day.
