What makes the France calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the France signature lives in the other dates: Victoire 1945 (Victory in Europe Day, 8 मई), found in no other country in the dataset; Fête nationale (Bastille Day, 14 जुलाई), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Jour de l'an (1 जनवरी) to Lundi de Pâques (6 अप्रैल): 95 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 11 nationwide holidays and Victoire 1945 will fall on a शनिवार (8 मई).
