“The French version of April Fools' Day is called 'Poisson d’Avril'.”
DISPUTED
The provided Wikipedia evidence does not mention 'Poisson d'Avril' as the French name for April Fools' Day. The entries only reference films titled 'April Fools' Day' (1954) and 'The April Fools' (1969), which are unrelated to the holiday's name. The claim appears to conflate film titles with the actual tradition, which is not supported by the cited sources.
