France has a reputation, among some, of being a vacation nation. Is this warranted? In this edition of Entre Nous, we dive into France's public holidays during the month of May. We discuss the country's infamous long weekends or "ponts", an ongoing political fight over the May 1 bank holiday and what researchers say is the ideal number of "jours fériés" or public holidays. 

How safe do you feel at work, both physically and psychologically? In this edition of Entre Nous we take a look at accidents in the workplace. We dive into what's behind France's status as one of the most dangerous places to work in Europe, and we also discuss how medical errors in French hospitals kill thousands of people every year. Finally, we dive into some of the solutions to making France safer on what is the UN's World Day for Safety and Health at Work and Workers' Memorial Day.
