Jardin du Luxembourg

The garden is located on 25 hectares (21 of which are open to everyone), there are no lawns or picnic areas, but there are many steps, benches and chairs, on which it is also very convenient to make an amazing picnic.
Parc des Buttes Chaumont.
This park is one of the biggest in Paris with its acres of lawns and a beautiful lake. There is enough space in Buttes-Chaumont to spend your time near the lake or on the hills in the sun. In this park, you can find a waterfall, disguised in a cool grotto, and still a real puppet theater: very small, but it is even cuter. In the summer, there are performances every day at 5 pm.
Champ de Mars.

A picnic under the Eiffel Tower, especially in the evening when it lights up, is simply an indescribable, magical impression that everyone, who finds himself in Paris in the picnic season, should have. There are too many tourists, many thieves, sellers of cigarettes and wine, and Afro-francs, selling souvenirs. In general, a lot of everything without which today’s Paris would cease to be Paris. Nevertheless, if you decide on a picnic on the Champ de Mars in the best company ever of your beloved one, you will remember it for all your life, as the best and one of the brightest moments in life.
What should you take with you besides a good mood?
The answer to this question may seem obvious. Everyone will have his own shortlist, according to the time of day, culinary tastes and wishes of your beloved one. However, the core set always remains unchanged:
- Blanket is always a good idea if you want to feel cozier and warmer, sitting on the grass or elsewhere
- Corkscrew. Virtually any picnic cannot do without wine: rose, white dry, red. Even if suddenly you still forget the corkscrew, most likely you can easily borrow it right there
- Wipes: dry and wet
- Dishes: glasses (they are sold in any supermarket)
- Some water
- Sunglasses
- You decide what you want: cheese with sausages, wine and surely true French baguettes or sweet with macaroons, amazing croissants, jam or nutella or fruit with seasonal berries and salads
In general, in your preparations for a picnic, act like true Parisians with a grain of carefree chic, without bothering. Eventually, Paris can become a gorgeous decoration for your love and in fact it is not so important where exactly and at what time you will arrange your ideal picnic.
