Did you know that Halloween in France is still quite a new celebration?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Halloween only became visible in the 1990s, mainly thanks to American influence in media and advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shops sometimes decorate with pumpkins and spooky displays, and schools or local communities may organise small events. But compared to the UK or USA, it\u2019s less common to see large-scale trick-or-treating.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toussaint versus Halloween<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween sits right next to a much older French tradition: La Toussaint<\/i> (All Saints\u2019 Day) on 1st November<\/b>. This public holiday is a time for families to gather and visit cemeteries, placing flowers (especially chrysanthemums) on the graves of loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n
