Monaco school and public holidays 2012

Dates for your diary.

If you're anything like us, you'll have gone down to the shops at least one day this year only to find them closed due to a public holiday. So as a reminder, we've listed Monaco's official holidays for 2012 below, as well as the school holidays, then you'll know when the kids are out. Note that the 2012 Grand Prix takes place on 27th May, so expect schools and businesses to close Thu-Sat, 24th-26th May, as well as Mon 28th for Pentecost for a nice long weekend.

Add the dates to your diary or online calendar, and follow our Twitter feed for an on the day reminder.
