A most bucolic offer for all lovers of good food, which we were able to try out last year. Beyond the real picnic basket, with cutlery and stamped plates, the offer is most refreshing for a lunch on the grass for two. Neither too much nor too little, you finish your meal without it weighing you down, which is really rather pleasant.

We particularly appreciated the burrata, which, along with the tomatoes, provided a welcome touch of freshness, but also the desserts, two pastries accompanied by a fruit salad. Special mention also to the tasty club sandwich. A delightful moment in the countryside for all food lovers. Now all you have to do is discover our new baskets... And enjoy your picnic!
