Pâques All of Your Eggs in One Basket
Here are some fun ideas to help you celebrate the arrival spring this Easter weekend with some 'egg-citing' activities!
Easter Egg Hunt
Have some childlike fun watching children at Chassé Aux Oeufs Easter egg hunt at the Eiffel tower! Over 20,000 eggs will be scattered on the Champ de Mars on Sunday March 27 from 10 AM- 5 PM. All proceeds go to Secours Populaire charity, so go support!
But if you also want to be a kid for the day and create your own competitive Easter egg hunt with friends, stop by your local grocery store pick up eggs. Next run over to the The Real McCoy and buy dye kits to create the perfect scavenger hunt around Paris. The Real McCoy also sells Easter eggs, Easter decorations and Easter candy, to bring back all childlike fun.

Easter Brunch
Enjoy Sunday brunch with friends at Eggs & Co : set price for 22 Euros per person.
Make a reservation at Ladurée for brunch and devour their truffle omelet while sipping on a mimosa.
Hotel Amour brunch choices range from pancakes to eggs benedict and much more.
You can also go to your local grocery store and pick up some cheese, baguette, and wine and sit out on the grass enjoying the sun with a view of kids hunting for eggs.

Traditional Easter Chocolate
Chocolate tastings are big in Paris during Easter weekend. Along with chocolate eggs and rabbits, chocolatiers also make chocolate fish which is very French. They also create chocolate bells to honor French Easter tradition which is ringing of church bells. The most famous places to stop to get your Easter chocolate are Fauchon, Patrick Roger, Jean Paul Hévin, Henri Le Roux and of course, the oldest Parisian chocolate factory: A La Mère de La Famille.

Easter Sunday Adventure
Jump on the Paris RER train and go get lost in the beautiful gardens of Versailles or take the train to Giverny and explore Monet's gardens.
