Easter In Paris

Last April we bought tickets on Air France. I didn't realize we would be here during Easter. I never dreamed we would have our apartment. We booked an AirBnB to stay in, before we signed our lease. Thankfully we were able to cancel AirBnB and get our money back!

I did a little research on how the French celebrate Easter. Here they don't have the Easter bunny like we do in the US. They have flying bells. The church bells grow wings and fly to Rome to be blessed by the Pope then fly back to the church. The churches don't ring the bells until they fly back. We awoke this morning to Notre Dame's bells chiming. It's a beautiful sound.

We arrived here on Friday and I'm not sure exactly what is going on around Notre Dame, but they have the area in front of the church fenced off. If you want to get in the fenced in area you have to go through security first.

I also learned that the chocolatiers take their Easter candy creations very serious. I had seen pictures on social media and decided when we got here I would go on an Easter candy hunt. Take pictures not eat all of the candy :) Ok I did buy one chocolate bunny.

The chocolate is almost too cute to eat!

Our plan is to go walk around Paris and come home and make our Easter dinner. Tomorrow we fly to Nice for the day.

Joyeuses Pâques!
