Governing Law: Official public holidays in Wallis and Futuna are the same as those in France and are regulated by Article L222-1 du Code du travail (Labour Code), to which are added Saint Pierre-Chanel Day, Saints Peter and Paul's Day and Territory Day. • Weekend Public Holidays: Public holidays that occur on a weekend remain on that date (ie. they are not moved to another date, such as the following Monday, for example). • Whit Monday was no longer recognized as one of the public holidays as of 2005, to help fund health care for elderly persons following the high number of elderly deaths during the heat wave of the summer of 2003. However, it returned to the list of French public holidays starting in 2008. • Wallis and Futuna International Codes WF and WLF (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .wf (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Wallis and Futuna information and news: ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Wallis and Futuna maps, demographics and economic statistics), and Wikipedia (includes Wallis and Futuna commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).
