While the French do acknowledge the event, it's much less of a big deal that it is in some other countries. That's because - unsurprisingly - French children have really taken to the idea of roaming their neighbourhood in creepy costumes demanding sugary snacks. And one side of the festival that France has really taken to is the blood and gore. But in good news, the French do celebrate the season in much more practical way - by giving people the day off. And if you're planning on travelling on Thursday night, be aware that it is marked as a red day by French traffic service Bison Futé, meaning that there is expected to be high levels of traffic everywhere.
