1. Decorations: It's not as common to see elaborate decorations as you would in the U.S., although some shops, stores, and entertainment venues may put up Halloween decorations.
2. Trick-or-Treating: Trick-or-treating is not a prevalent tradition in France. Instead of children going door-to-door for treats, the tradition of "La Toussaint," which falls on November 1, is more significant in France.
3. La Toussaint and Commemorations: November 1 is All Saints Day (Toussaint) in France. It's customary to visit cemeteries, pay respects to deceased loved ones, and leave flowers and candles at gravesites.
4. Halloween-Themed Events: In recent years, some bars, clubs, and event venues host Halloween parties or themed nights where people can dress up in costumes. These events are often marketed toward teens and young adults.
5. Movies and TV Specials: Halloween-themed movies and TV programs may air on major TV networks during the period around October 31st.
6. Carving Jack-o'-Lanterns: Some people in France may carve pumpkins as a Halloween activity, but it's not as widespread as in the U.S. or other countries.
7. Halloween-Themed Merchandise: Stores may carry some Halloween-related merchandise, such as costumes, party supplies, and candies, but these are often more subdued than in other countries.
While Halloween in France is not as prominent as in other countries, certain aspects of its traditions have been adopted and celebrated to a lesser extent.
