2 la Toussaint - le 1er novembre - un jour férié On met des chrysanthèmes sur les tombes familiales au cimetière All Saints' Day - 1st November - a public holiday People make a special effort to remember those family members who have died. They visit the cemeteries to put chrysanthenums on the family graves.

3 La Toussaint… All Saint’s Day, November 1 st, forms part of a two day remembrance of the dead. On this day the French recall that the saints number far more than those included in the Church calendar. School children celebrate by taking a week’s vacation.

4 Le Jour des Morts… On November 2 nd, the Day of the Dead, the French pay tribute to their deceased relatives and loved ones. They do so by visiting the cemetery, where they decorate the graves with flowers. This holiday ressembles American Memorial Day, since honor is also paid to the memory of the war dead.
