Emily & Jack enjoyed our “Amelie Poulain” gourmet picnic at the champ de Mars. We set up our deco style picnic for their romantic outing. They ordered a bouquet of pink roses as well to celebrate Emily’s birthday anniversary. Their picnic was set up for 12h30 lunch hour, so that they could walk across the park from their morning visit to the Eiffel tower.

Important to note that we do not give out any set number of photographs or restrict the number of photographs included in your photo package to the minimum to overcharge you thereafter for extra photos! You’ll probably notice it is common practice.

Olivier would edit all of the photos that he selects, (usually quite a few). He will retouch each photo individually and send them over no later then the next day via wetransfer. The photos will also be sent out in high resolution format. We do not charge you for higher resolution pictures either! Everything is included in a set fee with no extra charge. The files are very carefully processed by Olivier. Usually the process totals to an extra day of production. It takes proper skills & patience. It is time consuming but the final result is gorgeous!

You will receive a link to download your pictures via email. This way you can send the link to your parents the next day as well.

If you are interested in Photography : Our photographer has 30 years experience in the industry. He has collaborated to the NY Times, Marie Claire, Le Monde, El Pais, Sydney Morning Herald … He makes sure that his clients have a wonderful time during the photo session. You are in very good hands with a very well experienced photographer who loves sharing his passion for photography with his international clients. Note that Olivier lived in NYC for over 10 years, is fluent in English. He photographed high end weddings across the US & the Carribeans during that time.

A Paris birthday picnic celebration.

As mentioned above, our gourmet picnics are set up at various parks across the city. Our clients favorites locations include the champ de Mars as well as the Trocadero gardens. Both parks are a few minutes walk to the entrance of the Eiffel tower. This is quite handy if you are also planning on visiting the Eiffel tower the same day.

Trocadero gardens picnic incl. our traditional gourmet picnic set up.

The Trocadero gardens are located across the river seine from the Eiffel tower. The Eiffel tower being a really tall structure, we recommend to pull back a little to fully enjoy your picnic with the view of the tower. Otherwise you may take the risk of a neckache looking up at the tower as you are enjoying your picnic hour. This will also take you away from the crowd gathering at the foot of the tower. From experience, we found that there are also quite a few interesting perspectives for photos around that side of the seine.

Our clients ordered our “Amelie Poulain” gourmet picnic as well directly from the website. We set up their picnic with our traditional picnic set up including a red and white squared picnic mat. The set up was all ready by 16h00. Time is really flexible though. Their Paris picnic included a bottle of rosé wine as well as a bouquet of roses. They celebrated their 10 years anniversary on a gorgeous afternoon. Our clients also requested a one hour photo session with our professional photographer both at the picnic site and around the tower afterwards.

A gourmet picnic is so perfect for a Paris birthday celebration or a wedding anniversary with your spouse while visiting the city. We only produce one picnic at a time, this way there is no rushing around! We do make sure that we take very good care of our clients. It might be best to order your picnic a little bit in advance specially if you are looking to combine both a picnic and professional photography services.

Enjoy a romantic photo shoot at the Trocadero gardens.

We are very much loojing forward to see you all in Paris this coming season!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux après-midi préparé par Love Picnics. L'assiette était incroyable avec une telle variété de fromages, une quiche fantastique, et un cadre magnifique dans le Parc Monceau, qui était leur idée. Olivier a été un hôte formidable et lorsqu'il a commencé à pleuvoir brièvement, il a apporté des parapluies pour que nous puissions attendre que cela passe. Je referai appel à eux sans hésiter !

A Fun Proposal in Paris.

A 1001 ways to propose in Paris!

Indeed there are a 1001 ways to propose in Paris. We LOVE our city! Born and raised in Paris … After living abroad for over 20 years, from which 10 were spent in NYC, we thought it was time to settle back home. We started “Love Picnic Paris” shortly after with the idea of sharing our passion for French culture & art de vivre à la Francaise!

Over the years, we have gained a certain expertise in the art of planning engagements for our clients that fit their style and personnality. We propose to our clients a traditional French style picnic experience with some real photography!

Below a few ideas on romantic locations in Paris & Versailles to get engaged. ????If you are looking for some advice on proposing to your partner while visiting Paris, you are most welcome reach out to us directly via email.

Advices in getting engaged in Paris.

A few days ago, I bumped in an article about the 10 best ways to get engaged in Paris! Being curious & in the business of assisting clients with their Paris proposal, I took the time to read the article! I was only half surprise to notice that we propose to our clients three of the ten ideas suggested in the article.

Trocadero garden proposal idea.

Eiffel tower proposal.

Number one on the list was the Eiffel Tower: It titled “The ultimate cliché” but hey, it’s a cliché for a reason! As the sun sets, the city lights up, and so does your love. Pop the question on the top deck for a memory that’ll sparkle like the tower itself. Enjoy our engagent picnic set with wonderful lifestyle photography with ” Love Picic Paris”…

I first climbed the tower around 7 year of age. I still remember vividly the experience. I went back up a few times since with friends and family. Each time it is unique and very exciting afternoon. The view over Paris is breathtaking and the tower itself a real beauty!

A Luxembourg gardens proposal.

Picnic in Luxembourg Gardens: You can grab a baguette, some cheese, and a bottle of wine. Find a cozy spot in the Luxembourg Gardens and ask for forever amidst the lush greenery and serene fountains.

Alternatively we can set up one of our gorgeous French style deco gourmet picnic for you to enjoy. Here is an exemple of one of our Luxembourg gardens proposal.

You seal the moment with a kiss, and then pop open the champagne to toast to your future together. The Luxembourg Gardens, with its timeless beauty and romantic charm, will forever be the place where your journey together took a beautiful new turn.
Luxembourg Gardens offer an idyllic and intimate setting for a proposal, making it a perfect choice for couples who appreciate a blend of natural beauty and classic Parisian romance.

We will have our professional photographer photograph your proposal when you arrive at the picnic site from the distance.

Luxembourg gardens afternoon proposal.

Day trip at Versailles for your proposal.

Versailles Day Trip: Take a day trip to the Palace of Versailles. The Hall of Mirrors or the lush gardens make a regal backdrop for a royal proposal. Visit the estates in the morning & walk down the gardens to the canal area. We will again set up one of our gorgeous picnic set for your Versailles proposal. Our photographer will take you around the gardens after your picnic for some fun engagement photos.

The Gardens of Versailles, known in French as “Les Jardins de Versailles,” were created during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King. This grand project was designed to complement the splendor of the Palace of Versailles, which was transformed from a modest hunting lodge into the epicenter of French political power and the embodiment of absolute monarchy. We love ourselves heading to Versailles for the afternoon.

Getting engaged at Versailles estates.

Other ideas for a Paris proposal.

Boat Ride on the Seine: Rent a private boat or hop on a public cruise. As you glide past Notre Dame and under the city’s historic bridges, drop down on one knee. The gentle waves and the city’s charm make it a perfect setting.

Montmartre Magic: Head to Montmartre, the artist’s district. After exploring the charming streets and taking in the views from Sacré-Cœur, find a quaint café or a hidden alleyway to ask the big question.

Louvre Courtyard at Night: The Louvre is beautiful by day, but it’s magical at night. Stand by the glass pyramid, let the museum’s lights set the mood, and let your love story become a masterpiece.

Lock Bridge Romance: While the original love lock bridge is no more, you can still find plenty of places to attach a lock and toss the key into the Seine. Make it official with a lock and a proposal.

Street Music Serenade: Paris is full of street musicians. Find a performer who’s willing to play your song, and as the music fills the air, let your heart do the talking.

Champagne at the Top of Montparnasse Tower: For panoramic views of Paris, head to the Montparnasse Tower. Enjoy a glass of champagne at the top and toast to your future after they say “yes.”

Deco picnic set up at the Trocadero gardens.

Our deco picnic was set up for our clients engagement at the park of the Trocadero. Below a mini photo story of our clients romantic afternoon with the Eiffel tower in the background.

The photos are a lot of fun. Our professional photographer will capture your proposal in a lifestyle manner, gently guiding you through the process.

A Sweet Paris Engagement on a Rainy Day!

A Sweet Paris Engagement on a Rainy day!

Sometimes it rains on the day of your engagement in Paris! This morning, it actually snowed in the city! Still, we do provide gourmet picnics all year long either in Paris or Versailles. Hot soup & hot tea and warm blankets will accomodate your winter Paris picnic.

We usually touch base with our clients the day before their picnic, after having checked on the weather forecast. We ask you to be a little flexible if possible with the timing of your picnic. This way we have room to play with the planning and set up of your engagement picnic in Paris.

We may move the starting time a little later on during the afternoon. We might even suggest to move the date to the next day if the weather doesn’t cooperate! Rare thing … Most time, in case of rain, we use one of the shelter at the champ de mars.

This is what happened with our couple who recently flew from Australia to get engaged in Paris. We set up their engagement picnic at one of the shelter at the champ de mars. A couple of good looking umbrellas, love & happiness plus a great sense of humor from our photographer did the trick!

Everyone had a wonderful time.

He would have loved a Paris picnic with a large umbrella on a rainy day. ????

“Actually, Paris is the most beautiful in the rain”. That is the last line of Midnight in Paris.

Just watched “Midnight in Paris” again last night. It is a 2011 fantasy comedy film written and directed by Woody Allen. Set in Paris, the film follows Gil Pender, a screenwriter, who is forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his materialistic fiancée and their divergent goals, which become increasingly exaggerated as he travels back in time each night at midnight. The movie explores themes of nostalgia and modernism.

Highly recommended. ????❤️

A Winter Romantic Paris Engagement.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We have had a wonderful time with our clients at their Paris romantic winter engagement, on the last day of 2023! The champ de Mars with the Eiffel tower in the background was just the perfect setting. They both look so happy in the photos of their Paris engagement. It is always such a blessing to share our clients happiness with our Paris gourmet picnics.

As we celebrate the New Year, let’s spare a thought for those in conflict-ridden areas, especially the Palestinians & Ukraine. Their plight is not just a distant issue but a global concern that requires our attention and action.

We pray for a year that brings progress towards peace in Palestine, Ukraine and other conflict zones, fostering a world where every individual’s rights and dignity are respected.

Hoping for a transformative 2024 where global efforts towards peace and justice are strengthened. Let’s envision a future where empathy and understanding triumph over conflict and despair.

Wishing you all a New Year filled with peace, compassion, and positive change.

Paris romantic winter engagement

A Paris romantic winter engagement.

There is no real season for a Paris engagement photo session and a traditional gourmet picnic. We had the great pleasure to produce a Paris romantic winter engagement just recently for our clients. Our clients flew all the way from San Francisco. First time in Paris, first time in France for both of them.

Ian reached out to us with the idea of proposing to his girlfriend while staying in Paris. We organized our winter gourmet deco picnic at the Eiffel Tower for them.

Because of the winter season, we may ask you to be a little flexible with time and schedule for your event. We would be in touch the day before to finalize all of the little details together. In case of a rainy forecast during the day, we might suggest to wait a little while or postpone to the next day if possible. We can also set up your picnic under one of the shelter at the champ de Mars.

Paris proposal with a gourmet picnic.

We do propose a winter Picnic menu for the winter season. Our winter deco picnic comes with a traditional baguette, a hot vegetable soup, a selection of cheeses, a selection of cold meats, a vegetable quiche, seasonal salad, fruits and chocolates. Our Paris picnic is also served with hot tea and champagne. An engagement picnic is usually set up either at the Eiffel Tower or Versailles gardens.

Any of our gourmet picnics can be coupled with a professional photo session. You will also find detailed information on our proposal page which includes various engagement photography sessions.

This is how it goes!

We make the process very easy. Our gourmet picnic would be set up and ready to enjoy when you arrive at the choosen location. It is usually best to propose when you arrive to the picnic set once settled.

Our photographer would take your surprise proposal photos from the distance. He would then introduce himself and take a few more photographs at the picnic site during the first half hour. You can then crack open the bottle of champagne & enjoy your Paris picnic with your loved one.

You would usually have an hour and a half to enjoy your gourmet picnic. Once you finish your lunch, our photographer can take you around the Eiffel Tower for another half hour. Engagement packages offer different photography lengths from a mini photo session to two hours of professional photography around Paris.

A unique Parisian experience.

Ian and Jay had their engagement photographed when they arrived at the champ de Mars. Following their lunch hour, our photographer took them around the Eiffel tower for the remaining 1/2 hour of photography.

We organised another hour of photography at the Louvre, rue de Rivoli and the gardens of the palais Royal. My favorite location for engagement photos although Paris is simply gorgeous all over.
