                          About Public Holidays in French Polynesia

                          French Polynesia, a French overseas collectivity in the Pacific, follows the French national calendar but adds Internal Autonomy Day (June 29), marking 1984 self-government - a status distinct from the outright independence some other Pacific territories on this list have pursued.
