Error displaying public holidays in Google Calendar
bell -
Hello,
On my mobile, the Google Calendar has an error in the automatic display of public holidays, showing March 11 as one of them.
Even when going into the calendar settings and selecting "National Holidays" and then "Public Holidays in France," March 11 still shows "Ramadan," which is not correct.
How can I correct and remove this? I can't figure it out; if someone can, please share.
I have reported it to Google. I'm waiting for an explanation, and I will share it with you as well.
Thank you.

Hello
I am going to write to the management of Google France in Paris to get an explanation.
March 11 is not a public holiday in France.
Best wishes
Hello,
You won't forget to let me know if they reply to you...
But it's a dialogue of the deaf, I explained to you twice that it was in the Google calendar (provided you don't have a version of your phone intended for a foreign country or a Google region setting in a country where Islam is the state religion) not about the display of national holidays but of religious holidays, if we check Muslim.
I don't have it, this famous March 11th, so it's a display related to your phone in particular, not to Google.
Hello,
I don't understand anything about any religion, but it is true that Ramadan 2024 starts on March 11, with this first date not being a public holiday in countries where Islam is the state religion, unlike the breaking of the fast at the end (Eid al-Fitr).
That said, in the Google Calendar settings, there is not only an item for national holidays by country, but also another for religious holidays where everyone is free to choose which one they like.
It is, as I pointed out, a religious day, which is not necessarily a public holiday, if we check this parameter.
There is indeed some confusion in this regard if we choose the national holidays in France without the Christian religious holidays since Pentecost Monday always appears in the first category even though it is no longer a public holiday.
For the rest, I finished my career in the suburbs of Paris where several businesses were closed every Friday early afternoon and only reopened in the evening throughout Ramadan.
I also knew a Jewish pharmacist who kept his isolated neighborhood pharmacy closed every Saturday (which he is only allowed to do under the public health code if there are other nearby pharmacies for patients to "find relief")
The republic is secular but not atheist; everyone does what they want as long as they do not impose the consequences on others, just like in that suburb where every day of the year, 2 or 3 colleagues would leave you at the counter 5 times a day to go pray while about twenty customers were waiting.
