LA TOUSSAINTS, 1 NOVEMBER 

headerToussaint.jpg

Une grande chambre lumineuse, aux doux tons bleus subtils et naturels, séparée du reste de la maison par une grande salle de bain attenante avec une douche à « ciel de pluie ». Elle dispose d'un luxueux lit double « king size » ou de deux lits simples ci nécessaire. 

The chrysanthemum has developed an inextricable link with this holiday. It is the flower of choice to lay by graves, but how exactly it came to be is unclear. One theory is that it was carried over from the first anniversary after the end of the First World War, when the French Government asked the citizens to put flowers on graves to commemorate the deceased soldiers. Chrysanthemums have a long flowering period and aren’t specific to a time of year so they may have been chosen. In France you don't give chrysanthemums as gifts outside of this tradition.

French people didn't start celebrating Halloween until the 1990s when it was brought over from North America. Now the French have adopted Halloween customs such as trick-or-treating or dressing up in scary costumes on October 31 as well as continuing to celebrate La Toussaints on November 1.
