Governing Law: Official public holidays in French Polynesia are essentially the same as those in France (Article L222-1 du Code du travail), to which are added Gospel Day and Autonomy 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 French Polynesia kept Whit Monday in its list of public holidays from 2005 to 2007, at a time when it was no longer an official public holiday in France. • French Polynesia International Codes PF and PYF (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .pf (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of French Polynesia information and news: Bank of France (French Polynesia central bank), ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (French Polynesia maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in French Polynesia), and Wikipedia (includes French Polynesia commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in French Polynesia, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions. For more information, see our pages on the religious calendars of the world.
