Top 5 tips shared by Myline and Claire to elevate your proposal with a French Twist
Choose a Scenic Spot – Whether it’s a quiet park, a riverbank, or your own backyard, ambiance is key. Think of a place with natural beauty and a touch of joie de vivre.
Pack a French-Style Basket – Ditch the plastic and go for a traditional wicker basket filled with a baguette, cheese, saucisson sec, tapenade, cornichons, and fruit. Don’t forget a bottle of French wine or sparkling lemonade!
Bring Real Tableware – The French elevate even a simple meal. Use cloth napkins, real cutlery, and reusable cups (for the fanciest version, bring a couple of our bee champagne flute, a nice cultural wink to Napoleon or just adding summery vibes to your drink) to give your picnic a chic, eco-conscious twist.
Add a Sweet Touch – Finish with something delicious like madeleines, macarons, crepes, or a homemade French dessert. You can even just bring a small jar of Parisienne jams and dip a piece of bread, 100% satisfaction guaranteed. A sweet treat is the French way to end any meal.
Relax and Savor the Moment – A French picnic is not rushed. Take your time, enjoy the flavors, and linger in good company. C’est ça, l’art de vivre!
