Halloween in Paris

Parisians don’t celebrate Halloween.

There’s no trick-or-treating, no garish displays at le pharmacie, no need for mothers to warn their kids about razor blades in les pommes, no teenagers tp-ing the trees by the Seine. And there’s no candy corn.

But we do have pumpkins. Lots of them.
And that’s how I’m celebrating Halloween this year.

I love roasting and eating pumpkin, and I don’t miss stepping over all the smashed ones in the street the following morning.

But candy corn?

I love candy corn (preferably stale) and I really do miss it.

Now that’s kinda scary…
