📖 Understanding Public Holidays in Martinique

Martinique follows France's statutory holiday calendar in full — the national government sets these dates, and regional banks, public offices and schools across the state close accordingly.

When a fixed statutory public holiday falls on a weekend in Martinique, government gazette decrees often designate the adjacent Monday as an official substitute non-working day.

As Martinique's capital, Fort-de-France observes the identical statutory calendar — there's no separate capital-city holiday list distinct from the rest of Martinique.
