On the menu? Some beautiful springtime strolls, the egg hunts and plenty of chocolate for the sweet-tooths!
The must-see egg hunts organized by some must-visit venues in the field such as the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, the Abbey of Royaumont, at the Jardin d'Acclimatation... To the festive brunches, not to mention the numerous options for chocolate eggs to sample especially during this weekend and the outings to enjoy during these three days off school and work, the events in the museums and open monuments despite the holiday of lundi de Pâques, the program is shaping up for Pâques 2026!
