France is perfectly designed for picnics with its baguettes, cured meats, cheese and wine. While there is never a lack of beautiful spots to set up camp, the other night we found the ultimate picnic spot. It’s in Le Parc Buttes Chaumont, which is possibly the best park I have ever been to, it has all kinds of crazy things like hills, lakes and waterfalls. When inside the park it’s hard to believe you are still in Paris. As soon as I saw this spot in the park I nearly fell over with excitement. The spot was surrounded by a circle of trees, the grass was luscious and soft and we had a lovely view over another hill in the park. It was the perfect spot to set up for hours to read, play piquet and eat lots of yummy french food.
