Ask HN: Can you take more than 2 consecutive weeks of vacation? 3 years ago
In the US, I would hardly be surprised. Working in France, I have 7 weeks of vacation every year (with 5 weeks being the minimum required by labor law for all full-time employees). In my company we're also required to take a "congé principal" once a year of at least 10 consecutive working days. As in most French companies, it's also pretty much the norm for people to take off 3 or even 4 weeks in July/August, I prefer to use mine over the course of the year though, unless I make big travel plans.
