Yes, April Fools’ day is a French tradition. But the name is quite different. There’s nothing to do with April or Fools, but the French star of the show is… a fish 

The typical French April Fools’ prank consist of discreetly attaching a paper fish to the back of your unknowing victim… But all kinds of pranks are possible on “le premier avril”, especially fake news.

When the prank is revealed, we shout: “poisson d’avril”!!! Our students had a lot of fun!
