Nope, that's the regular thing in France. There used to be legal 26 days of holiday, and then the famous "35 hour week" is in most companies converted in 23 extra days of holiday (while keeping something like a 9-5 day). Now because of years on the job, I got a few more days, then there's a rule that says that if you don't take all your holidays together, you get 2 more days, and then because I'm not a French national, I get 2 more days to go and see my family.
From a macro-economic viewpoint, it's a disaster. But from a personal viewpoint, it's nice :-)
