Partir en vacances

To go on holiday

意味

To leave for a vacation period.

🌍

文化的背景

The 'Juilletistes' vs 'Aoûtiens' rivalry is a real cultural phenomenon. People who leave in July often think they are smarter for avoiding the August crowds, while August vacationers enjoy the peak heat. The 'Grandes Vacances' refer to the long summer break for schools, typically from early July to early September. In August, many small shops and bakeries in Paris close for the entire month, hanging a sign that says 'Fermeture annuelle'. In Quebec, the 'vacances de la construction' are two specific weeks in late July when most of the province's construction industry shuts down, leading to a massive surge in travel.

⚠️

The 'En' Rule

Never say 'sur vacances'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers. Stick to 'en'.

🎯

Plurality

Always keep 'vacances' plural. If you say 'la vacance', people will think you're talking about a job opening.

Yes, it is grammatically correct, but 'partir en vacances' is much more common and sounds more natural to native speakers.

Yes, 'vacances' is a feminine plural noun. However, since it's used with 'en', you don't usually see the article 'les' in this specific phrase.

'Vacances' is the general term for holidays. 'Congés' is more formal and often refers to the legal right to take time off from work (e.g., congés payés).

You use 'être'. Example: 'Je suis parti en vacances'.

Use 'Je suis en vacances'. Use 'partir' only for the act of leaving.

Usually, for a weekend, we say 'partir en week-end'. 'Vacances' usually implies a longer period (a week or more).

In French, the preposition 'en' is often followed directly by a noun without an article to describe a state or category.

It is always 'en'. 'De' would mean you are leaving the vacation itself (e.g., returning home).

It means taking a day off (like a Friday) when a public holiday falls on a Thursday, creating a 4-day 'vacation'.

Say 'Je pars en voyage d'affaires' or 'Je pars en déplacement'.

Only in very specific contexts like 'une vacance de poste' (a job vacancy). For holidays, it's always plural.

A person who goes on vacation in July.

A person who goes on vacation in August.

Say 'J'ai hâte de partir en vacances !'
