The Opportunities of Easter




Easter Weekend in France
Easter is a longer holiday in France than it is in the United States. While the U.S. observes Easter Sunday as a holiday, Good Friday and Easter Monday are typically not recognized. In France, Easter always consists of a long weekend, and in some sectors, a week or two of vacation centered around the long weekend. In addition to having the chance for a holiday, the French also take the opportunities of Easter to include visiting family and/or friends, and relaxing a considerable amount.
