Bonjour World, time for le joie de vivre lesson of the day.

"Le bridge"

In France, when there is a public holiday the Thursday, like today, or the Tuesday, French can take a bridge.

It means that they can do not work the Friday or the monday. They build a bridge from the saturday to the wednesday or another one from the thursday to the monday.

Of course, people who take bridge have bullshit jobs. The ones having real jobs, like real bridge builders, don't take bridge.

@PetitFayot and when you do'nt work on wednesday (if you don't consider caring for your three children working) mondays and fridays are also a unique opportunity to ask one day of, get a five days weekend.
That's my third two days weeks on the four latest weeks :)

@PierreM @PetitFayot If memory serves, there's a pretty interesting week of this kind in May 2018 😃
