Paris public holidays

Nice to know whilst planning your holiday or business trip: Paris public holidays

On Public Holidays (jours fériés), you can expect the banks, many museums, most businesses and some restaurants to close, with those remaining open often charging a premium; public transport runs a Sunday service.
