Father's Day in France, known as "Fête des Pères," was introduced in 1952. The celebration was influenced by the American version of Father's Day, which originated in the United States in the early 20th century. It is said that the idea to celebrate Father's Day in France was promoted by a company that manufactured lighters, with the intention of boosting sales by encouraging children and spouses to offer them as gifts to fathers.
Unlike the United States where Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June, Father's Day in France is observed on the third Sunday of June as well.
On this day, French people honor their fathers with gifts, cards, and spending quality time together. Common presents include items like ties, pens, or wine, with many choosing personalized or DIY gifts to show appreciation. French children often create handmade crafts or drawings as a token of love for their fathers.
Families may gather for a special meal either at home or at a restaurant. This meal is an opportunity for family members to express their gratitude and appreciation towards the father figures in their lives.
Overall, while not as commercialized as Mother's Day (Fête des Mères) in France, Father's Day remains a day of familial recognition and heartfelt gestures.
