Ascension day Thursday 25/5
Pentecost Monday 5/6
Both days were public holidays in France, probably with a "pont" day on Friday 26/5.
But in the Netherlands it seems the whole period from one to t'other is taken as one long holiday with Dutch campsites going to High Season rates and lots of sites in Belgium full-up.
After a number of phone calls though we did find room in the proverbial inn.
My fault entirely for not thinking ahead. Though I now know that Pentecost is yet another holiday hijacked by the christians - this time from the Spurs fans (passover).
p.s. for anyone confused by the title - the first P = proper and the sixth = performance.
