In France, Easter eggs are traditionally delivered by the "Pâques" bells rather than a rabbit, as is common in other cultures. On Easter Sunday, church bells are said to fly to Rome to be blessed and return with chocolate eggs and treats for children. Parents often hide these eggs in gardens or homes, and children go on Easter egg hunts to find them. This festive tradition adds a unique cultural twist to the celebration of Easter in France.
In Britain, approximately 80 million chocolate Easter eggs are sold each year. This figure can vary based on factors like consumer trends and economic conditions, but it highlights the popularity of Easter celebrations in the country. The sale of Easter eggs contributes significantly to the confectionery market during the spring season.
