Choosing your pumpkin for Halloween
Halloween means pumpkins! An Irish tradition that’s also popular in France. The Île-de-France region has plenty of places to find your perfect pumpkin: in Seine-et-Marne, at Cueillette de la Grange, in Yvelines, at Cueillette de Gally, or in Val-d’Oise at Cergy. Enough to make a magnificent Jack O’Lantern in Paris.
