90% of the population of France is Roman Catholic, so many people attend special church services on Easter. Church bells stop ringing on Good Friday to commemorate Jesus' death and ring out again on Easter Sunday in recognition of his resurrection.

Children wake up and look for colorfully decorated eggs left in their gardens and homes. The Easter Bunny is not part of the festivities, except in certain areas next to Germany. When the bells stop ringing on Good Friday, children are told that they have gone to Rome to see the Pope and when the chimes return, they will bring the eggs with them.

Children also enjoy playing a game of rolling raw eggs down a gentle slope. The egg that survives symbolizes the stone being rolled away from Jesus' tomb. Another game played is similar to the egg and spoon game played in the United States. They toss an egg in the air and the first child to drop and break the egg loses the game and might have to give away a piece of his candy.

Chocolate is part of the celebration and includes fish and bells. Often, they look more like works of art than something edible.

The Easter feast is likely to include Lamb, leg of lamb or lamb stew.

Schools usually take a spring holiday during this time of year and workers usually have a 3-day weekend.

You hide chocolate eggs in garden and ask children to find them right after they woke up. Children are told that "easter bells" or "easter rabbits" brought the eggs in the garden during night.

How do french celebrate Easter?

I know the french do celebrate this, Heres a paragraph I dug up on it enjoy If you will be in Paris this Easter, there are a few things to remember. First of all, as it is a holiday many shops and restaurants will be closed for the day. Some will remain closed the following day as well (Easter Monday). Be sure to call before arriving at a restaurant, as you don't want to be standing outside a locked door. The windows of the Parisian patisseries and chocolatiers are like works of art at Easter. The beautiful cellophane wrapped eggs, the white, milk and dark chocolate chicks. The Easter bells. Easter bells? Yes, Easter bells. You see, in France, there is no Easter bunny. Instead, they have the "Cloches de Pâques" or Easter bells. These are the bells that fly across France, dropping chocolates and treats in the grass, under trees and in the bushes. When the children hear the church bells on Easter morning, that is their signal that the Easter bells have passed and they run out looking for their Easter goodies. French church bells remain silent from the Thursday before Easter until Easter morning. The French Easter tradition is that the church bells fly to the Vatican in Rome, returning to France in time for the Easter celebration, depositing chocolates and eggs all over the gardens of French children. That's to sad they don't have Easter bunnys though : )
