exactly not a gash Monday. OK, some years it will be 'inconvenient' and fall on a Wednesday or Thursday with many workers no doubt 'faire le pont'.
But as many firms work over bank holidays there is no reason to suppose that it would affect the city. The only thing that would make the 11th special was if
all shops and petrol stations, with the exception of florists, closed on that day and only restaurants and bar could open but with restricted hours - say bars 1800-2300 and restaurants 12-14 and 1800-2300.
Never happen.
