Every year on Halloween, October 31, a pumpkin is traditionally hollowed out and candles are placed inside to give it a spooky look. In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, head for the local pick-your-own pumpkin groves!
It's official: it's pumpkin-carving time! From October 18 to 31, 2025, the Cueillette du Plessis in Chanteloup-en-Brie (77) is giving little monsters and big wizards the chance to choose, carve, sculpt and decorate like real Halloween artists.
