la Toussaint vs. Halloween

• La Toussaint is a Catholic festival in France,
  celebrated November 1st.
• It is a religious public holiday and many
  French people will have the day off work
• The name Toussaint is similar to Halloween -
• Tous les Saints (All the saints) Toussaint
• All Hallows (saints) evening Halloween
• But the festivals are celebrated very
  differently in France and the UK.

3

• On November 1st, the French often visit the
  graves of their loved ones and put flowers
  (especially Chrysanthemums) on the grave. They
  see la Toussaint as an opportunity to remember
  their lost loved ones and honour their lives. It
  is a day for celebrating the lives of departed
  relatives and praying for the happiness of their
  souls.

4

• Celebrations are normally private but in some
  areas of France there are religious processions
  or parades in the street.
• Offices and shops are normally closed, and the
  only places to remain open are florists so people
  can buy flowers.

5

• Halloween is not celebrated in France as it is
  in the USA. In France there is no trick or
  treating, dressing up or parties. Many French
  people dislike the tradition of celebrating it as
  they think it is too commercial.

6

• Although it may sound like a sad day, La
  Toussaint is actually seen as a very positive
  date people celebrate the lives of their loved
  ones and it is not really a sad occasion, more of
  a respectful and happy day. This may be helped by
  the fact that it also, in most regions, marks the
  start of a two week school holiday, so it is
  easier for children to enjoy the date!
