OCTOBER FRANCE «FÊTE OF THE TRANSHUMANCE» In recent years, Hallowe en has become more and more famous in Germany and children celebrate it like in the USA. The return of the cattle from the summer pastures is usually in June. Hallowe en has not such a popular impact in France as in the UK. Germany is well known for its beers; while France for its wines. There are many local festivals related to wines in France, but not as big as the Oktoberfest. Hallowe en has become more and more popular in Spain in the last decade.
