May 19 (UPI) — A small town in France succeeded in its third Guinness World Record attempt by hosting a gathering of 3,076 people dressed as Smurfs.<\/p>\n

The town of Landerneau, in France’s Brittany region, had attempted the world record for the most people dressed as Smurfs twice before, but fell short of the record<\/a> of 2,762 people, which was set in Germany in 2019.\n<\/p>\n

The town made its third attempt<\/a> Sunday with official backing from Paramount Pictures ahead of the release of the film Smurfs on July 18.<\/p>\n

The Smurfs were created by<\/a> Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, aka Peyo, in 1958. They are called “Schtroumpfs” in French.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 19 (UPI) — A small town in France succeeded in its third Guinness World Record attempt by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116129,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5309],"tags":[2000,299,36,46356,46355,1544],"class_list":{"0":"post-116128","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-france","11":"tag-funny","12":"tag-odd","13":"tag-weird"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114538249218952156","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
