Bunnies, bells and fish! Exploring France's Easter and April Fools' Day traditions

Bunnies, bells and fish! FRANCE 24's Genie Godula and Solange Mougin take a look at how France celebrates Easter Monday and April 1. We dive into the origin stories of these traditions, which won't fall on the same day again until 2086. We also discover why April Fools' Day is called "Poisson d'avril" in French.

This Entre Nous aired on Paris Direct, April 1, 2024. A programme produced by Amanda Alexander, Marina Pajovic and Georgina Robertson.
