Paris will always hold a special place in our hearts, not just because it’s the city of love, but because it became the place where our next chapter began. A chapter filled with dreams, adventures, laughter, and a lifetime of choosing each other.
There are few things more romantic than celebrating a love story in Paris — and this beautiful engagement at Parc Monceau was especially meaningful.
Our clients travelled all the way to Paris with their 9-year-old daughter, who was there to witness and celebrate one of the most special moments in her parents’ lives. We created an intimate and elegant Love Picnic Paris deco-style picnic beneath one of the gorgeous oak trees in Parc Monceau, transforming a quiet corner of the park into a beautiful setting for their engagement celebration.
Our Deco-Style Picnic — Made for a Paris Proposal
Our signature deco-style picnic is designed to feel much more than a simple picnic. It is a carefully styled experience where every detail is considered to create a romantic, elegant and effortlessly Parisian atmosphere.
Think beautiful vintage tablecloth, comfortable cushions, elegant tableware, delicate florals, candles and carefully selected decorative details, all styled together to create that unmistakable Paris picnic aesthetic.
For a proposal or engagement, the setting provides the perfect balance: intimate enough to feel personal, yet surrounded by the natural beauty and timeless elegance of Paris.
And Parc Monceau makes an extraordinary backdrop. With its mature trees, romantic pathways and beautiful gardens, it offers a different side of Paris — peaceful, sophisticated and wonderfully photogenic.
For this family, the picnic became the setting where they could slow down, celebrate together and make the engagement a memory shared by all three of them.
And Then There Is the Photography…
Working with Olivier from @weddinglight is an experience in itself.
Rather than simply documenting what happens, Olivier brings a relaxed, natural energy to the experience. He knows how to make couples and families feel comfortable in front of the camera, allowing the photographs to capture genuine emotions rather than feeling overly posed.
That is particularly special during an engagement in Paris. There is the anticipation, the excitement, the laughter, the little looks between two people — and having someone who knows how to quietly capture those moments makes all the difference.
The result is more than a collection of beautiful photographs. It becomes a visual story of the day: the picnic, the family, the emotions and the beginning of a new chapter together.
Our clients’ experiences consistently reflect this. One recent Google reviewer described their Parc Monceau proposal picnic as “absolutely perfect,” praising the beautiful location, the picnic setup and Olivier’s ability to capture the moments naturally.
Create Your Own Paris Love Story
Whether you’re planning a proposal in Paris, an engagement celebration, an anniversary or simply a beautiful family experience, our team takes care of the details so you can concentrate on the moment itself.
From choosing the perfect Paris location to styling the picnic and capturing the memories with Olivier, we create experiences designed to feel personal, elegant and unforgettable.
And don’t just take our word for it — our Google Business page is filled with reviews from couples and families who have experienced Love Picnic Paris for themselves. We invite you to read their stories and discover what makes a Love Picnic Paris experience so special.
Love Picnic Paris
Ready to plan your own romantic picnic or proposal in Paris? Let us create a beautiful setting for your next unforgettable moment in the City of Light.
“In the most romantic city in the world, you turned an already beautiful journey into the beginning of our greatest adventure.”
“There was something magical about standing together in Paris, surrounded by the lights, the beauty, and the feeling that this was a moment we would remember for the rest of our lives.”
Paris is a city made for memories — and some of the most beautiful ones happen when we simply slow down and enjoy the moment together.
Our private family picnics in Paris are designed for families who want to experience the city in a more relaxed, intimate and personal way. Away from the rush of sightseeing, we create beautiful moments around a carefully prepared picnic, set against some of Paris’s most iconic surroundings.
Imagine arriving with your family at a beautiful location, the Eiffel Tower rising above you, while everything is prepared for a leisurely afternoon together. A beautifully styled picnic, French delicacies, fresh pastries and thoughtful details create the setting — while the city becomes the backdrop to your family story.
For us, it is not simply about having lunch outdoors. It is about creating a moment worth remembering.
Children can enjoy the freedom of being outside, parents can relax and take in the view, and everyone can share time together without the pressure of a busy itinerary. Whether you are visiting Paris for the first time, celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or simply looking for a special way to spend an afternoon together, our picnics are designed around you.
We also love capturing these moments through photography, preserving the laughter, the little gestures and the spontaneous interactions that make family memories so meaningful.
From the first glass of champagne to the last photograph, every detail is thoughtfully considered to make the experience feel effortless, elegant and authentic.
Because Paris is not only a city to see. It is a city to feel, share and remember.
And sometimes, the best way to experience it is simply to sit together, enjoy a beautiful picnic, look up at the Eiffel Tower and let the afternoon unfold.
Turn Your Paris Memories Into Lasting Stories
A family trip to Paris is filled with moments you wish you could hold onto — the laughter, the little gestures, the excitement of seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time, and simply being together in one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
Any of our picnics can be complemented by a professional lifestyle photography session with Olivier from WeddingLight, creating natural, beautifully composed images of your family as you experience Paris together.
Rather than traditional posed portraits, lifestyle photography is about capturing the connection between people. The spontaneous laughter, a child running into a parent’s arms, a shared glance, or a quiet moment together — these are often the photographs that become the most meaningful over time.
Olivier’s approach is discreet and intuitive, allowing the family to relax and enjoy the experience rather than feeling like they are constantly being photographed. The result is a collection of authentic images that tell the story of your time in Paris.
Years from now, these photographs will be more than beautiful pictures of your family in front of the Eiffel Tower. They will bring you back to how that moment felt — the people you were with, the atmosphere, the joy and the experience of being together.
Because travel memories fade, but photographs have the power to bring them back.
Your family holiday deserves more than a souvenir. It deserves a story you can keep.

Our Deco Style Gourmet Picnic
At the heart of the magnificent Jardin des Tuileries, our Deco-style picnics invite you into a timeless Parisian escape. Traditional French picnic baskets, vintage blankets, designer cushions, soft cashmere plaids, retro umbrellas, and glowing candlelight come together to create an atmosphere of effortless elegance. Surrounded by grand fountains, sculpted gardens, and the beauty of Parisian architecture, each picnic becomes more than a moment — it is an experience of refined leisure, romance, and French art de vivre.
Whether basking in the afternoon sun or lingering into a golden evening, the setting transforms every gathering into a beautifully curated celebration of style, charm, and indulgence.
The Art of a Lifestyle Portrait Session During a Gourmet Picnic
A Paris lifestyle portrait session is not about stiff poses or forced smiles. It is about capturing real connection, natural movement, elegant details, and authentic emotions in a beautiful setting.
At our gourmet picnic experiences in Paris, guests have the opportunity to elevate their moment with a professional photo session by the photographer from Weddinglight. The result is more than a collection of photos — it becomes a visual story of a romantic afternoon in Paris.
Lifestyle photography blends the elegance of editorial photography with the spontaneity of real life. Instead of directing every movement, the photographer guides the experience naturally while allowing genuine moments to unfold.
The approach focuses on:
- Natural emotions and authentic interactions
- Elegant but relaxed posing
- Movement rather than static positioning
- Beautiful use of natural light
The goal is for guests to enjoy the picnic while the photographer documents the experience artistically. Most people are not professional models. A skilled photographer understands this immediately and creates an atmosphere that feels relaxed, easy, and enjoyable.
The Paris Photographer’s Approach
A professional lifestyle photographer does much more than simply take pictures. Most people are not professional models. A skilled photographer understands this immediately and creates an atmosphere that feels relaxed, easy, and enjoyable.
Rather than asking guests to “pose,” the photographer gives simple prompts:
- Walk together slowly
- Pour champagne naturally
- Share a conversation
- Laugh, toast, or enjoy the food
- Look at each other instead of the camera
These small actions create authentic expressions and emotional connection.
Using Paris as Part of the Story
Paris is not just a backdrop — it becomes part of the visual narrative. Our professional photo session is an experience in itself. Our photographer has 30 years of experience in between Paris and NYC. You will surely receive a wonderful serie of photographs all retouched and edited. Olivier collaborated with many publications over the year such as the NY times, Marie Claire, El Pais, Sydney Morning Hearald, Elle …. You can have a sneak peak at his style on his wedding website: www.Weddinglight.com
The photographer carefully incorporates:
- Soft Parisian light
- Architectural lines
- Gardens and seasonal colors
- The elegance of the picnic styling
- Iconic Parisian atmosphere
The result feels sophisticated, romantic, and naturally cinematic.
You are considering proposing to your girlfriend while visiting Paris. The Eiffel Tower is iconic—but it’s also busy, loud, and constantly surrounded by tourists, street vendors, and cameras. A proposal there can feel rushed or public.
Your engagement picnic at the gardens of Versailles, by contrast, offer quiet paths, hidden groves, and secluded fountains where the moment belongs only to you two. Eiffel Tower proposals are expected; they’ve become a ritual many couples follow. While still meaningful, they can feel predictable.
Choosing Versailles signals originality and thoughtfulness—your Versailles proposal feels like a carefully chosen chapter in your love story, not a checklist item.
The Gardens of the Palace of Versailles are often considered one of the most romantic places in France for a proposal because they combine history, beauty, symbolism, romance and atmosphere in a way few places can. The gardens are a masterpiece of classical French design—endless symmetry, manicured lawns, fountains, and statues stretching toward the horizon. Proposing to your love one at Versailles feels like stepping into a fairy tale or a royal painting, giving the moment a sense of timeless love rather than something fleeting.
Planning your Versailles engagemment with Love Picnic Paris.
Versailles is located a short drive from Paris center. It is easily accessible by public transportation. The RER C train is the most common option and takes about 45 minutes to get to town. We would suggest that you head to Versailles for the day. The site is vast, so the goal is to see the highlights without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Visit the main castle in the morning, including The King’s and Queen’s Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors as well as the the Royal Chapel.
After the palace visit, You will step outside into the formal gardens. This is where the pace naturally slows and the visit becomes more romantic and immersive. You will walk across the garden to the grand canal area where we would host your engagement picnic.
The afternoon can be spent visiting The Trianon Estate (Grand Trianon & Petit Trianon), Marie-Antoinette’s Hamlet. This area feels quieter, more personal, and more human than the main palace. It’s perfect for strolling, relaxing with your loved one for the remaining of the day. You will simply enjoy a magnificent setting, grandiose, elegant and rich in French history.
Proposing in the grand setting of Versailles
The gardens were once walked by kings and queens. Proposing in this grand setting is unique. It would make your partner feel cherished, almost royal, as if your love story deserves a palace-worthy setting.
Our proposal gourmet picnics are set up under one of the most beautiful oak tree of the park, off the beaten tracks. Away from crowds and noise, your proposal becomes about just the two of you. Without distractions, your words carry more weight, emotions feel deeper, and the moment doesn’t feel rushed or performative. Nature encourage emotional openness. This peaceful atmosphere, connection to nature makes it easier to speak from the heart and fully absorb the significance of the moment. We ourselves love heading to Versailles for the day. There is something magical about the gardens.
Reserving your date with Love Picnic Paris
We only do one picnic at a time. We therefore suggest that you reserve your proposal date in advance. You will find detailed informations regarding our Versailles proposal prices and packages in our proposal page. You will also find a selection of proposal stories on our blog. From experience, we suggest that you propose once you arrive at the picnic site. Our professional photographer would capture your proposal from the distance first. This way you can keep the moment very private. Your engagement picnic at the gardens of Versailles is certainly one of the most beautiful way to celebrate LOVE while travelling to France. Reach out via email if you would like for detailed information as to how we can assist you with the planning of your engagement in France. Each of the engagements that we produce is a beautiful experience we share with our couples.
