The mysteries of the French way of life (Bank Holidays)

Just a quickie. Yesterday was the third Bank Holiday so far this month. The first two fell on a Saturday, the third on a Thursday. Today is "le pont" which basically means that as yesterday was a day off and tomorrow is a Saturday we will bridge it and take a day off so no post, no school etc. Remembering back to MFI days, bank holidays we opened. Here the local supermarket plays a guessing game, on the first they closed, on the eigth they opened and on the 13th they opened a half day. We have one more bank holiday to come this month on the 24th, I have a €10 bet that they will open and close alternate hours
