PICNICKING ON THE RIVER BANKS

The picnic season is officially open! Take your baskets, plaids, solar creams and go on the banks of the Seine to enjoy the sun and a good French food. Here is our favorite picnic menu à la Parisienne: one baguette, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots and radishes, cucumber sticks, hummus, one camembert, one goat cheese and a bottle of rosé. Basic. Simple. Good. The picturesque sunsets and the spectacular views of Paris are included in the menu. This is what we call “l’art de vivre à la française ” !

Quai d'Orléans and Place Louis Aragon (sunny all afternoon) 15 minutes’ walk from Hotel Monge.
Quai de la Tournelle (in the shade at the end of the afternoon) 10 minutes’ walk from the Hotel Monge.
