Mummy's Alive! This Halloween (or 'A lo ween' - as the French say), we are bringing you tons of useful tips to create a French-inspired Halloween celebration. It is so exciting to dress up and enjoy the U.S. traditions during Halloween because, in France, 'A lo ween' is not a very big holiday. Instead, the French prefer to celebrate La Toussaint or All Saints Day on November 1st in which families visit the cemeteries of their loved ones to honor and clean up their tombstones. On these days, there is no dressing up or watching horror films, so we're taking the American traditions and putting our French spin on them. Keep scrolling to check out some delicious French-inspired recipes, horror flicks, and more. Frightfully French - Tips For A French-Inspired Halloween is not for the faint of heart. Keep reading...if you dare!
