    I believe it was the French tradition that they were just " extra days" .

    Just 5 or 6 holiday days in a row, party days

      I am currently reading a book on the Terror, apparently those 5 days are not all holidays, which actually pissed people off at the time.

          For another L, a 10 day week meant for a lot of people more work days per each rest day. Really if we want to fuck with the calendar we'll have to throw out this capitalism thing first.
