As I just spent some time on the American continent, I felt I had to write a special Halloween article for you.
Over there, the holiday is prepared well in advance, and pumpkins have been lining porches since September, marking the spots where children can go to collect their candy.
As usual, I’m offering you my traditional selection of tips to enjoy for this terrifying holiday.
Melle Bon Plan’s selection:
The New Caledonia Before at the Quai Branly Museum
To spend Halloween evening in an original way, I suggest you take advantage of the Before New Caledonia at the Quai Branly Museum.
This free evening, intended more for 18-30 year olds, will take place on Thursday, October 31st from 7 PM to 11 PM and will blend a festive atmosphere with artist performances centered around Kanak art.

The special Halloween candy box
Halloween, it should not be forgotten, is also a matter of candy. Still in line with the box trend I was telling you about recently, today I present Les Bonbecs, a box offering surprise assortments of candy, and of course, they are currently offering a special Halloween box!

Le Manoir de Paris in Halloween mode
You know that I often talk to you about the Manoir de Paris on the blog because it’s a place I enjoy visiting (well, if you can call it that). It obviously organizes a special event for the occasion.
From October 18th to November 11th, two new interactive routes open their doors to celebrate Halloween. A new attraction, Asylum, will offer a nightmarish consultation with the medical team at the Manoir de Paris.
