Picnicking in Paris

Imagine you’re in Paris and want to eat like un vrai Parisien: picnic along the Seine, of course. Because that’s what Parisians do. It will take you a while to figure out where to buy the best picnic ingredients and then actually gather them all together.

It can be easier with the foodiebag from My Parisian Life, which is delivered straight to your hotel or your picnic blanket along the Seine.

Food blog My Parisian Life is a city guide to life in Paris. It includes tips for restaurants, bars, markets, shops and neighbourhoods. For Parisians-to-be, but also for would-be Parisians who come to the French capital for a weekend pop-up.

Seine
And a weekend like that isn’t complete without a moment by the Seine. Whether you’re whizzing along the water on a shared bike, relaxing on the urban beach, or declaring your love for one another on the ‘pont des amoureux’ – the Seine is part of Paris, just as wine, cheese and a baguette are part of that city.

A ‘Welcome to Paris’ picnic bag with the best local cheeses, wine and baguette.

Even better is to combine all of this in a picnic featuring only the best baguette, freshly roasted coffee, wine and cheese the city has to offer. Curated by real Parisians.

Hand picked
You can now do just that. Everything is hand picked together with Parisian sommeliers, cheesemongers and other local foodies, and hand delivered in a linen bag printed with ‘No tourist traps’. It also contains a curated map of hotspots, a souvenir for (your loved ones) back home and a postcard. Everything you need for an authentic Parisian experience. The only thing you have to do is find the perfect, photogenic spot along the Seine. And hope for dry weather.

The ‘Welcome to Paris’ foodiebag costs 59 euros for two, comes with two glasses, napkins and cutlery, and can be ordered here .
