Question

"Halloween" est une fete americaine (meme si certains commencent a` l'adopter dans des endroits comme Paris ou` bcp d'americains vivent.  Ca serait interessant de citer les fetes traditionnelles d'automne en France/ses regions ou les fetes dans des pays francophones, n'est-ce pas?  Merci.

Accepted Answer

Hi Talk,
What you say is true, 'Halloween' is an American import but lots of French people do celebrate it and children love it in particular.
As for French festivals, I am not aware of one at this time of the year in particular, except perhaps 'les vendanges' but this is celebrated on a small scale at a regional level.

and other local traditions -

But we try to remain current and Halloween is what will be on people's minds for the next couple of weeks.
Hope this answers your query.
