Easter is back in 2025, and with it the tradition of egg hunts. So, on Saturday April 19, Sunday April 20 and Monday April 21, 2025, we're off to respect tradition and hunt for those famous little chocolate eggs!
The Easter egg hunt is a tradition deeply rooted in Easter celebrations, symbolizing renewal and fertility. Historically, this custom has its origins in medieval Christian practices. During Lent, the consumption of eggs was forbidden, resulting in a significant accumulation. At Easter, to mark the end of this period of fasting, eggs were decorated and offered, symbolizing the resurrection of Christ and the return of life in spring.
In Paris and the Île-de-France region, the tradition of egg hunts is enthusiastically celebrated through numerous egg hunts organized in various emblematic locations. For example, the Jardin d'Acclimatation offers giant egg hunts, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte transforms its gardens for the occasion, and the Musée Rodin organizes its not-to-be-missed hunt in the museum gardens. In the Val-d'Oise département, there's no shortage of ideas for outings, notably at the Musée Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Montmorency, which is offering a special treasure hunt.
Lead the investigation to help Rousseau find his chocolate treasure. If you succeed, a reward awaits you at the end of the game!
Happy Easter to all!
