Odette Pernaud, la poissonnière (the fishmonger)
As in many countries, “le poisson d‛avril” (April fool, literally "April fish") is celebrated at the end of lent in France on 1st April. Legend has it that 1st April used to be the 1st day of the calendar year when people would offer each other fish. In 1564, Charles IX, the king of France changed it to the 1st January. Some got very confused and others played practical jokes by offering fake fish on 1st April pretending it was New Year‛s Day! Today, on 1st April in France, children tack paper fishes on each other‛s back as a trick and shout “Poisson d‛avril”. So watch your back!
