We saw this woman walking around Montmartre yesterday. April Fools day in France is called 'Poisson d'avril' and is celebrated by sticking paper fish to the backs of the people that have been fooled (the 'poisson' d'avril).
Interestingly, Wikipedia claims that the French were the likely creators of this day. You can read the whole entry here, and is related to the change from the Gregorian calendar to the Julian one. Who knew!
