Halloween in Paris?

So here it is, October 31st, Halloween. Here we are Halloween freaks in a country that doesn't celebrate Halloween. What to do?

Thanks goodness, an American woman has organized trick or treating at Parc Monceau. What better?

We were asked to help pass out candy on a bench. We can do better than that, we decide. We deck our bench out American style with a big spider web, two real carved pumpkins, little red ghosts, and not to forget, chilling Halloween music.

The kids went to different benches throughout the park and could trick or treat at the benches with orange and black balloons. The most fun was passing out candy at our bench because, as it turns out, we are the only decorated scary bench. It was quite the attraction.
