Hi Everyone...

For anyone working in or with a company in France...

Can you tell me what the working months of December and January is like for the 'holiday' season in France?

Do local people take many vacation days or are there many holidays in December and January?

What month do peoples work schedules in France go back to normal?

Thank you all

Before we rush in to be helpful, can you say whether you are asking these question for yourself, as a US citizen, or whether you are gathering information for your own website? I ask because I am more inclined to be helpful in responding to a genuine personal request, than if you are once again using Dave's to collect information for your own "Esl Consulting" business. Confused

For all concerned... I do not have an ESL consulting business. But, anyone of course can feel free to respond to anything on Daves or not for whatever reasons they may or may not have.

The questions are rather odd if they're for your personal information. Why do you care what kinds of holidays working people in France take? You work in Latin America, I believe, and as a US citizen, you're not eligible to work in France anyway. Working holidays in France wouldn't impact your own holiday travel plans to France in any way, so it's a mystery why you'd be interested.

Unless you have a website and are gathering information for others. In which case it would be the honest thing to do to say so, as other posters have done in the past.

As a consumer, I'd be VERY wary of a consulting website created by a relative newbie to the EFL world with minimal qualifications and experience in only one country.

Obviously the link is dead... I may be hiding something though. Everyone should research much more. What a huge waste of time everyone has spent focusing on me. I was simply asking for what the holiday schedule is.

I would like to say here... The simple fact that the first poster would even remember what I was trying to do over a year ago is mind blowing. Then to have the wherewithal to attempt to use it against me is... I dont know. Its strange, weird and misguided. Did you actually look up and read ALL of the past posts I have ever made? That is just plan stupid. Why would anyone do that on a site that is meant to share information? That question is rhetorical by the way. I don't really care about your answer. What I will say here is that NONE of this information posted here was helpful to me or anyone on any level. And this question was so very basic. Everyone that posted here has put up a road block, derailed the entire post and ruined the chances of anyone actually answering my original question which was so simple and direct in the first place. That is not what DAVES is meant for. DAVES is designed to help people exchange information. NOne of the posters here have done any of that. How much time do you all have on your hands to harass and troll postings on DAVES? I feel this is why DAVES is not as popular as it used to be.

As for spiral78...

Damn you spiral78. As usual your are wrong on all counts. Where I work or live is none of your business. And no I don't only work in Latin America. Anything else is simply none of your business. You road block all who dare to ask any questions about the EU. You always have and always do for anyone and everyone. You must get some pleasure out of it. I really don't know and don't care. You do a great deal of finger pointing and calling people out for asking any questions about the EU. I can't imagine what type of job you actually have outside of DAVES. I can't imagine what type of place you would actually excel at in the real world. But, obviously you work somewhere and someone did actually hire you with your personality. Your very holier than thou, very I'm better than you, very I know more than you and very entitled. And your an instigator on top of everything else. So, as you know conversations/ postings in the past involving you have never gone far, ever. Your thing is to troll, put a stop to anything I post and harass. It always has been like that with you. I don't know why you feel a need to do such things on DAVES. The amount of time you have to waste must be enormous. Its a waste of time for the poster when someone like you trolls so heavily. But, I've said all this before to you specifically. Other members have even stepped in and basically told you to back off. I am far to old to deal with this anymore.

Everyone who posted here said nothing helpful. Then on top of all that trying to dig and find information about why you should not answer the posters question. Then everyone posted their little opinions about the poster (me) for all to see. Is that supposed to be some type of internet slap across the face. We are not giving you information that we know you want, 'HA, HA, HA!!' I wish I had more energy to spend on shit like this but I just don't. I'm just tired, just trying to get through the day. This site has proven to be useless because of people like who have posted here.
