Easter 2025: egg hunt and storytelling in the Ile Saint-Denis park (93)

The Easter egg hunt is a deeply rooted tradition in France, combining religious heritage and playful customs. Historically, the Catholic Church prohibited the consumption of eggs during Lent. Eggs laid during this period were kept until Easter, when they were decorated and offered as a symbol of renewal and fertility.

The egg hunt as we know it today is a fun tradition, especially for children. The practice involves hiding eggs in gardens for children to discover and set off on the famous Easter egg hunt.

In Paris and Île-de-France, this tradition is still celebrated with enthusiasm. Numerous emblematic locations organize egg hunts, offering families convivial moments. For example, the Ferme de Rutel in Seine-et-Marne offers a large-scale egg hunt, allowing children to search for chocolate treasures in a rural setting. Similarly, cultural institutions such as the Musée Montmartre in Paris organize egg hunts in their gardens, combining heritage discovery and gourmet pleasure. In the Seine-Saint-Denis département, Île-Saint-Denis also organizes its own, in the eponymous park.

So, on Sunday, April 20, 2025, families are invited to a special Easter day featuring an egg hunt, a storytelling walk and creative workshops!
