Is there any package that returns false/true (or even better a [0,1] float for sub-country holidays averaged by population… yeahh… but this would be too much 🙂 🙂 ) for something like `isholiday.(Date("2015-06-15",DateFormat("y-m-d")),"France")` ?

I see that there is [Holidays.jl](https://github.com/invenia/Holidays.jl) but it seems very old, and any how it doesn’t include France, and [BusinessDays.jl](https://github.com/JuliaFinance/BusinessDays.jl) that again doesn’t include France and it seems more oriented toward computing working days between intervals.

Or maybe there is something in R/Python we can use ?

Have you looked at this [Microsoft site](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/open-datasets/catalog/public-holidays/) (a python solution)?

Thanks. For French specifically, I did found also an “official” source: [Jours fériés en France - data.gouv.fr](https://www.data.gouv.fr/en/datasets/jours-feries-en-france/)
