- there will be traffic jams

Many people will go away for long week-ends over Ascension Day (17 May)

Many people will go away for long week-ends over Pentecost (21 May)

Quite a few people will take the week off and go away for the whole 12 days.

Correction (see below) 21 May should read 28 May.
What about restaurants and cafes, are they open during these holidays?
