Jour de Truman

📣 Conseils aux voyageurs

The United States is a geographically diverse nation offering destinations including urban centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural areas (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska, Southwest canyonlands), and coastlines (e.g., Pacific Northwest, Florida, Hawaii).

• On federal holidays, non-retail businesses, post offices, and banks are generally closed. If a holiday falls on a weekend, observance may shift to the nearest weekday.
• The period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day is the 'holiday season,' and major infrastructure (airports, roads) is typically very crowded.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federally observed holiday, resulting in the closure of most non-retail businesses.
• Dining etiquette is generally European-influenced; refrain from noisy eating or loud conversations. When visiting a private home, bringing a small gift is appreciated, though do not expect it to be served with the meal. For potlucks, confirm preferred contributions with the host.
