They say the Gallic economy has fallen behind the British largely because the French take 11 days' more holiday a year, with each day costing about €1.8billion. If the French worked as much the British, they would add about 1 per cent to national wealth, according to advisers to the president.
Funny how the Times neglects to mention that on the years when holidays like to 1st or 8th of May fall on a Saturday or a Sunday, we don't get an extra day off as a compensation
It depends on your work contract. Mine specified 217 days worked, and so a year with many weekday holidays meant less RTT. Now, you're under the Banks convention collective, not the horrendous SYNTEC, and I bet you are not usually able to take all your days off in a year...
