Picnics in Paris

Back in Paris, I enjoyed quite a few picnics by the Eiffel Tour. Waiting for Eiffel Tour lights to come up is quite a special way to spend a romantic evening with someone special or have a nice time with friends. You can see birthday parties, bachelor parties and even weddings around you. Here is a wedding party and a Bachelor party right besides each other in this photo….

One can find amazing picture exhibitions not only in numerous museums but even on bridges in Paris. By chance, we walked on this exhibition on le Pont des Arts of oil treated photo images taken around the world by Francis Gazeau. Many people were having picnics, playing music or just simply resting right there on the bridge.

Besides Eiffel Tour and le Pont des Arts, another place to have a picnic is by the river Sienne. One evening we were having wine with my international friends on the banks of the river, while enjoying a beautiful view of Notre Dame on the other side (my friends from Portugal, Lebanon, Paraguay and me are in the photo).
