What the numbers say
In 2026, Luxembourg has 11 nationwide public holidays and France has 11 — exactly the same number. They line up on 8 dates, including Neijoerschdag, Ouschterméindeg, Dag vun der Aarbecht and Christi Himmelfaart.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Luxembourg has 7 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 9 for France (2 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Luxembourg offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); France offers 5 and 3. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is May in Luxembourg and May in France.
