Paris gourmet Picnic FAQ Welcome to our Paris gourmet Picnic FAQ page. You will find  answers to some of the more frequent questions you may ask. We created a winter style gourmet picnic this year. Our different picnics can be enjoyed at the Trocadero gardens, the champ de mars overlooking the Eiffel tower. We do propose picnics at the gardens of Versailles as well. Our winter picnic includes cashmere plaids and woolen blankets to keep you warm. Our deco picnic is set up with our traditional wicker picnic baskets, candles, lights, cushions, umbrellas, and large size heart balloons.  The picnic is served with tea or coffee. We will be on call during the picnic and present to clear your picnic set up once you are finished. You can simply carry on with a photo session with our photographer or your visit in Paris after your lunch. It is a chic and unusual way to enjoy a romantic moment with your partner in Paris. You will find a fun visual story with Shawn and Whitney’s january Paris gourmet picnic. Reach out to us directly via email for a quotation.      WHAT IS INSIDE THE PICNIC BASKET?
