In France we celebrate the 14th July which is a commemoration of the "prise de la Bastille" in 1789. At that time the kings and high profile persons were beheaded with the famous "Guillotine" when they were captured by the population.
In Germany were I am now, it is 3rd of October which marks the reunification of western and eastern Germany in 1989 after the wall was broken. It als marked the end of the cold war between the western countries and the sovietic countries.
Another country I also was working in is Switzerland which celebrate 1st August which marks the celebration of the country´s foundation.
In general I used those day either to work since I was working in shifts in my former company and had to work on Bank Holidays as well or if the weather was fine make a little bicycle tour provided I was not to exhausted from work.
