Let’s explore French Easter customs and how you can share in the celebration, no matter where you are.
What are Easter traditions in France?
In France, Easter is a mix of church, family, and chocolate, lots of it. Some of the customs are similar to other countries, but a few are uniquely French. It’s not flashy, but it means something. People slow down, spend time together, and enjoy good food.
- The Church Bells (Les Cloches de Pâques)
In France, children have a charming belief that, instead of the Easter Bunny, the church bells fly all the way to Rome on Good Friday. On Easter Sunday, the bells “come back” and bring chocolates and little gifts. That’s why the bells go quiet during the days before, it’s meant to be a time of mourning. When they ring again on Sunday, it’s to celebrate.
- Easter Egg Hunts (Chasse aux œufs)
Kids search for chocolate eggs, bunnies, and bells hidden in backyards, parks, or town squares. It’s simple fun, and everyone looks forward to it.
- Easter Markets and Decorations
Many towns set up spring markets with chocolate figures, handmade goods, and local snacks. They’re great for picking up last-minute treats or ideas for gift baskets.
- Church and Family Gatherings
Most families go to church on Easter Sunday, then head home for a long lunch. It’s less about the fancy table and more about being together. Sending easter delivery gifts to family members you can’t be with is a heartfelt way to stay connected during this important holiday.
What Are Traditional Easter Gifts?
France is famous for its gourmet culture, and Easter is no exception. Traditional Easter gifts reflect the country’s culinary elegance and love for symbolic gestures.
Most Popular Easter Gifts in France:
- Chocolate Figures – Instead of just bunnies, the French gift chocolate in the shapes of bells, fish (poisson d’avril), lambs, and eggs. You’ll often find these made by hand and wrapped with care.
- Easter Eggs – Sometimes hollow, sometimes filled with pralines, caramel, or nougat.
- Spring Flowers – Lilies, tulips, and daffodils are common gifts. They’re a simple way to mark the season.
- Baked Goods – Things like brioche, pain d’épices, and madeleines often make their way into Easter hampers.
- Religious Keepsakes – Especially in more traditional families.

What Does France Have Instead of the Easter Bunny?
In France, the Easter Bunny’s role is charmingly replaced by “Les Cloches de Pâques” (The Easter Bells).
The Story Behind the Bells:
From Good Friday to Easter Sunday, church bells all around France take a little break to remember the death of Christ. There’s a fun legend that says these bells fly all the way to the Vatican in Rome and come back with yummy chocolate and eggs for the kids.
On Easter morning, kids wake up to find delightful chocolate treats scattered in the garden, as if they were dropped by the magical flying bells! This tradition adds a magical, poetic flair to Easter in France, making it unique compared to many Western cultures. It also influences gift shapes – bells are a familiar chocolate figure, especially in Easter chocolate hampers.
