LE “PICNIC TOURISTIQUE” :

By the “Champs de Mars” with a fabulous view of the iconic Eiffel Tower. Evidently this is the prime spot to enjoy your picnic.

LE “PICNIC NAUTIQUE” :

Along the Seine you wil find another great spot where parisians go to “escape” Paris and the daily grind of the city. It is refreshing, like being by the sea shore… As a matter of fact, from july 20 to august 20, it is the beach… the parisian way that is !

LE “PICNIC CINEPHILIQUE” :

Man needs spiritual food as much as he needs earthly diversion. Go ahead and take advantage  of the “free” outdoor cinema (la  Villette from july 15 to august 16 ) to have a picnic. The  showing starts at twilight and to get a great place it is advisable to go there early.

LE “PICNIC CLASSIQUE” :

The side walks along the “canal Saint Martin” have a festive athmosphere, especially in the summer. Here you can dance, have a picnic, or play the “petanque” (the traditional french past time).

LE “PICNIC MYSTIQUE” :

Two steps away from the “Bon Marche” explore the little garden next to “charite de Saint Vincent de Paul” monastery. It is located very close to the miraculous chapel of “rue du Bac”. Tranquillity and almost a “zen” vibe is garantee.

No time to organise ? At the Apostrophe hotel we have your ideal Picnic basket. You can order directly upon arrival or simply make a reservation for a “Summer night” (check our “Perfect nights”)

A whole month when Paris creates its own beach ! Located on the border of the Seine  with sand and palm trees, it welcomes the visitors for a variety of  FREE activities and lot’s of fun.
