Hi,
I am french and I can tell you briefly what french people usually do and eat for easter.
Easter is really interesting when you've got children, since the french tradition says that the bells of all the churches go to Roma (italia) from thursday evening before easter till the day of easter (always a sunday). Thus from friday ( the bells go to Roma to ""witness"" Jesus-christ death) till sunday morning you won't hear a single bell ringing (since they are in Roma) ! Then in the night between saturday to sunday, the bells are supposed to come back from Roma to announce the ressurection of Jesus-Christ, and during that night, the bells are supposed to leave some chocolate all along their way back to their church. Thus, on sunday morning, children just go to the backyard to try to find the chocolates that the bells leave them during the night. On this morning many children in France are looking for some chocolates (the shapes of the chocolates are often : eggs, bells, rabbits...) in their garden.
So for easter we do eat a lot of chocolate and people do also eat some meat of sheep(it is a tradition too), it is a day where the family gathered to share good times looking at children trying to find their delicious chocolates .

I hope it helps you ;) it is quite brief but if you need more details ask me, but it really corresponds to what most french people do.

King regards ;)
