(My mom is espanasiempre. )We just returned from Paris and I was wondering if people still do Poisson d%26#39;Avril. My French teacher told me that traditionally people tape a paper fish to other people%26#39;s backs as an April Fool%26#39;s Day joke. Is this still practiced? Thank you!

Yes, it still happens, but maybe not so much as it used to. I think the tradition began fading when the pink elephants became extinct. Tell your mom to check on this forum for some Poisson d%26#39;Avril postings. There%26#39;s one in French!

thanks! in the provinces is this still a tradition?

I don%26#39;t know, but would expect so. If you google %26quot;poisson d%26#39;avril%26quot; you%26#39;ll come up with several websites that talk about the origin and customs of the day.
