Jour de la bannière d'American Samoa (observé)

📣 Conseils aux voyageurs

The U.S. is highly diverse, offering destinations such as major metropolitan centers (e.g., Manhattan), natural wonders (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), unique coastlines (Pacific Northwest, Florida), and desert landscapes (Southwest).

• Federal holidays typically close government offices, post offices, and banks, though private businesses may remain open.
• Major travel hubs (airports, stations) tend to be very crowded during the holiday season (Thanksgiving to New Year's).
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the official observance is often moved to the nearest weekday.
• Non-holiday dates may still see increased crowds and limited amenities in popular locations.
• General dining etiquette in the U.S. often follows European customs: Wait until everyone is served before eating; keep conversations subdued and refrain from loud noises; and use a napkin placed across the lap in formal settings. It is recommended to proactively ask the host if you can contribute to a meal, and bring a small, non-food gift if not asked to contribute.
