Thursday 13 May is Ascension Day and in France this is marked by a Bank Holiday. Because the French Bank Holiday falls on a Thursday, many people will make it a long weekend by taking Friday off as well. In France this custom is common, and it’s called “faire le pont” literally “make a bridge”. The previous two public holidays both fell on a Saturday and in France they are forfeit, not rolled over.
For house hunters this may mean you cannot get a viewing appointment until next week. Expect to find a sign in the estate agent’s window announcing “Fermeture exceptionnel”. You can still research the French mortgage market online. Learn more about French mortgages and how a good mortgage broker can help you from our website, Best French Mortgage.
