It looks like how the Americans celebrate Halloween on the night of October 31st. People dress up as witches, skeletons, vampires and a whole lot of other things, but the mood is very different. It started out as a fun activity for children, but now the adults get into it more than the children. The costumes that I enjoyed seeing the most were a man wearing a disposable diaper, a man dressed up in a gay S&M costume, and a man wearing a male Hawaiian hula dancer's attire which has no underwear. Quand il fait du vent, on voit les fesses. Do people in France dress up in costumes?

People often visit the cemeteries and bring flowers to the dead. My family doesn’t do anything special, but the celebration here is similar to that on France.
