THE HISTORY OF EASTER EGGS

In FRANCE the Chateau Vaux Le Vicomte, Maincy, outside of Paris hosts an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday and Monday. 

Some 35,000 eggs are hidden for hunting.

Along with decorated eggs, many of the customs associated with Easter celebrations are originally from Germany including the Easter bunny.
