Fête de la lune in paris 2024, the best plans for going out and moon cakes for the mid-autumn festival

The Moon Festival returns this year on Tuesday, September 17, 2024. This Chinese festival is also celebrated in Paris with events, special menus and mooncakes to sample. How about

celebrating China's second most important holiday while staying in Paname? The MOON FESTIVAL, also known as the MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL, IS an ancient Asian tradition dating back over 1300

years. It is the most important Asian festival after New Year's Day. However, it remains little-known in France. Mid-Autumn, the eighth lunar month, is celebrated on the 15th day, when

the moon is at its brightest for the year. This is when the Chinese join their families to admire the famous full moon, chatting and savouring the famous moon cakes, round cakes

magnificently decorated with a sweet filling: fruit, melon or lotus seeds, nuts, red bean paste... There are many legends about the origin of the MOON FESTIVAL and its cakes. The most

popular is that the Moon Festival commemorated the Chinese victory over the Mongols in 1368. On this occasion, the Chinese were said to have hidden papers in cakes indicating the day of the

attack, and to have distributed them clandestinely to their compatriots. Since the Mongols don't eat sweet cakes, the ruse worked perfectly. In the run-up to the MOON FESTIVAL, which

this year takes place on SEPTEMBER 17, 2024, MOON CAKES are on the increase in Asian stores and specialist patisseries. Tang Frères and Chinese patisseries in the 13th arrondissement, avenue

d'Ivry and avenue de Choisy, are just some of the places to try them. THE MOON FESTIVAL AT PARIS 2024, THE PROGRAM : FÊTE DE LA LUNE PARIS 13E 2024, THE PROGRAM OF FREE EVENTS The Moon
