E104 - holidays in France : Are the French people privileged ?
In France, it seems like everyone goes on holiday during the summer. But is that really the reality?
With five weeks of paid vacation, the French are often seen as privileged.
Yet nearly 4 in 10 people don't go on holiday at all, often for financial or work-related reasons.
In this episode, we explore what holidays really mean today.
Are they simply about traveling, a right to rest, or a privilege that only some people can truly enjoy?
