Saturday

'the bunny' or 'la cloche' ?

In our house the easter bunny is a Canadian thing. In France Easter eggs are dropped by bells from Rome. The history is that the bells were sent from Rome to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, I am not sure when and how they were filled with chocolate but these days French children wake up on Sunday morning to chocolate eggs dropped by the bells in the night.  
Emmanuel and Renaud figure they are half French and half Canadian so will probably be visited by both the bunny and les cloches.
Who brings your Easter eggs?
