Claire Dinhut took to TikTok to give her 701,000 followers a brief lesson about how the holiday is celebrated in France 

She explained that the Easter Bunny does not exist and instead the chocolate goodies are distributed by bells 

In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 72,000 times, Claire spoke directly to camera as she began: 'There's no Easter Bunny in France. Monsieur L'Easter Bunny is not a monsieur - he's a nobody. Instead, we have Easter bells.'

The content creator then delved into the history behind the country's 'Les Cloches de Pâques.'

'If we're getting into the religious part of it - basically the bells, they silence themselves on Thursday to represent the mourning period.

'And then Sunday, they're like, "We're awake. We're gonna go to the Vatican now," and then when they do, they drop little chocolate eggs for all the kids.'

Claire explained that she had been doing research for a newsletter about different Easter traditions around the world, adding: 'I've learned so much.'

'I didn't even know that there was a village in France called Bessières, that makes an omelet with 15,000 eggs.

'Supposedly, it's because Napoleon once stopped near that village and was like, "can I please have an omelet?" and they were like, "okay, we'll make you an omelet."

'So nowadays, they make an omelet for Easter, because eggs are a very big Easter food,' she dished.

She explained how 'there is a village in France called Bessières, that makes an omelet with 15,000 eggs' (pictured) 

The social media star continued: 'In the eyes of the church, eggs supposedly represent the resurrection and new life, so they are a great Easter symbol. 

'Now, the first chocolate eggs were actually in the 1800s in France and in Germany, but the first hollow-chocolate eggs - the ones that you can fill or just the ones that are a little thinner - were invented in the UK by Fry's.

'Then Cadbury copied them only two years later - so now you know.'

She captioned her video: 'The giant omelet - are you f**king kidding me?'

It was soon flooded with comments with many followers sharing their own European country's traditions.

One person wrote: 'Here in Belgium, we also have les cloches or de paasklokken.'

Another added: 'We don't have the Easter Bunny in Iceland either. But when I was a kid, we had different Smurfs on our Easter eggs. Very random.'

Someone else commented: 'Switzerland has The Easter Cuckoo (native bird that delivers Easter eggs in Switzerland).' 

One person added: 'In the Netherlands, it's an Easter Hare. Also, in my region, we light Easter fires.'

Another person wrote: 'Spending many Easters in Provence, I had lots of large chocolate hens sitting on Easter egg baskets! Also, mini chocolate gull's eggs.'

Other followers joined in on the conversation with their international traditions.

One person wrote: 'In Australia, we have chocolate bilbies, which are like tiny marsupials.'

A second person added: 'Over here in Ecuador, we have a whole soup with 12 grains that we make, and eat as a tradition for Easter!'

Another commented: 'We have the omelet festival in our small town Abbeville, Louisiana. You should come visit.'

Another person added: 'We have a 5,000 Omelet Festival in my home town in Louisiana, based on Bessières. Fun Cajun market with it.'

The responses inspired Claire to post a follow-up video with more 'fun Easter traditions from around the world.'

In it, she shared: 'In Greece for Greek Easter, which is not this weekend but May 5, we play a game with red eggs where you hit one person's egg next to you, and only one egg will crack, and the winner has the uncracked egg.

'I did not win last year and I'm very bitter about it.

'In Bermuda, kites are flown, which I think is just beautiful. Would love to be there.

'In Jamaica, an egg and an egg white are dropped into a glass of water and apparently the way it kind of [forms], will predict the way you'll die.

'In South Africa, hot cross buns are filled with pickled fish, because it is a Cape Malays tradition, so that honestly sounds delicious and so up my alley.'
