That is the French equivalent to April Fool's Day. Children play tricks on each other and will try to tape a paper fish to the back of a friend so that when it is discovered they cry "poisson d'avril".
The chocolate shops will have lovely chocolate fish for sale today. Unfortunately, we are working on replacing the kitchen sink and are not going into town this morning so I don't have a photo to post. Update: Well after work did not go well with the sink, we went to M. Chevalier this afternoon for a poisson. Here is a dark chocolate one but without any surprises inside (watching the weight). We will wait until after dinner to taste it.
My other "poisson d'avril" will have to be Dante ready to go for a spin.
