The Champs-Élysées will be covered in an enormous picnic blanket, and everyone lucky enough to attend will get a free picnic basket of local delicacies
There’s something quite chic about a picnic, and Paris certainly has plenty of spots to throw down a blanket and tear apart some baguette – we even have a guide to the best shops for picnic food. But you won’t need it at this mega-picnic which is planned for the French capital. That’s right – food will be provided for you from local eateries and restaurateurs up and down the Champs-Élysées, where it’s set to take place.
In collaboration with LG Electronics, the street’s committee have planned an enormous picnic for Sunday May 26, which will be hosting up to 4,000 guests. Running all the way from the Arc de Triomphe to the intersection of Avenue George V, the entire area will be car-free and divided into nine sections, all featuring different French delicacies and outdoor games. Each person will be given a jam-packed basket upon arrival, too.
