The Easter egg hunt is a deeply rooted tradition in many cultures, particularly in France. Historically, eggs have symbolized fertility and renewal, concepts associated with spring. In ancient times, it was common to give decorated eggs to celebrate the return of fine weather. With the advent of Christianity, this practice became part of Easter celebrations, marking the resurrection of Christ and the beginning of a new life.
In France, legend has it that church bells, after falling silent from Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday as a sign of mourning, travel to Rome to be blessed. On their return, they scatter eggs in the gardens, which children are quick to find during the traditional egg hunt.
This year, Lumigny Safari Reserve, located in Lumigny-Nesles-Ormeaux in the Seine-et-Marne region, is offering an exceptional egg hunt from Saturday April 19 to Monday April 21, 2025. According to the park, the Easter bunny has mislaid his magic eggs in the park grounds, offering children a playful adventure among wild animals. Participants (aged 3 to 10) will have the opportunity to search for these eggs while discovering the different species housed in the park, and then enjoy a delicious surprise.
