A favorable calendar
The year begins auspiciously: New Year's Eve, which falls on Wednesday, January 1st, is immediately followed by Epiphany, scheduled for Monday, January 6th, offering a first opportunity for a long weekend.
In April, the coincidence between Easter (Sunday 20 April), Easter Monday (Monday 21 April) and Liberation Day (Friday 25 April) will allow you to get 9 days of vacation by using only 3 days of holidays.
May and June: the months of strategic bridges
May 1, Labor Day, falls on a Thursday, making a 4-day long weekend possible. In June, June 2, Republic Day, falls on a Monday, providing another opportunity for an extended break.
Ferragosto and autumn holidays
Summer also offers opportunities: Mid-August, August 15th, will be on a Thursday, allowing for a longer weekend with just a few days off. Towards the end of the year, the Immaculate Conception (Monday, December 8th) will ensure another long weekend, perfect for Christmas markets or a short winter getaway.
Christmas 2025: Holidays with Few Sacrifices

Very interesting article, but I think it is also important to consider expenses during travel. Not only plan vacation days, but also budget to avoid surprises.
