La Fete des Peres.

Father's Day is an international holiday, believe it or not. I mean, Dads are a universal thing so of course, they're honored in other coutries as well, the most popular celebration date is the third Sunday of June. Both France and the US celebrate it today!

So while I'm at the shop for the day, giving my Pop the day off as his present, I'm going to do a little bit of research on Father's Day in France.

There's http://www.fete-peres.com/histoire.htm that gives a little information on the origin of Father's Day in French.

It's an occasion for a family get-together and a big meal and of course, presents for Papa!

Pretty much the same as the US but it's nice to know the French celebrate it as well.
