Hallowe'en in Paris

Halloween is not a huge stuff-your-sack candy free-for-all in Paris the way it is in the States. For one thing, all the kids are on school vacation -- vacances scolaires de la Toussaint.

But it has gained in popularity in recent years, I gather, and there are some celebrations here and there.

The Marie Antoinette costume in this store in the 12th arrondissement seemed to be saying "trick or treat" as if there were no difference between the two.

On the other hand, I kind of liked her surreal blockhead mask, too.
