This French expression has to do with a special spring tradition in France.
Why do I need to know? Les flying cliches?
Because it is possible that I listen to this expression used quite a quite tining Weeken in France.
What does it mean?
The flying cloches – Approximately pronounced Closh Voe-Lahn-Translates precisely to ‘flying bells’ in English, and are part of the French Easter tradition.
In the United States and the United Kingdom, Easter bunny (Pâque lapin or the Lievre (hare) of pâque) is responsible for bringing chocolate eggs to children. In France, it may see a chocolate rabbit in the bakery windows here or there, but true tradition has to do with flying bells, since Easter bunny resorts to Germany (that’s why you can see it in the eastern areas of France nearby).
In France, the legend says that the church bells remain silent on Thors Day before Easter because wings grew and flew to the Vatican to be scared by the Pope.
