On our recent holiday we were away three weeks, so I decided that for lunch we would picnic where possible in the hope of saving money (to spend on gelati). This meant trying to plan our route so that we could picnic at a table that was in the shade, something that town planners in Europe aren't spectacularly good at. Luckily my navigation app of choice (organic maps) can be made to show picnic tables in an area, and streetview can show if they are shaded.
We managed nine picnic lunches, two picnic breakfasts, and one picnic dinner. In addition we ate a number of meals at our various accomodations that would have counted as picnics if we had been outdoors. A typical picnic was bread, green salad, cheese, tomatoes, preserved meat, fresh fruit,
These are some of our favorite picnic places from June/July 2023
On the first day we picnicked at the Chapelle des Moines de Berzé-la-Ville.
The next day we launched on the top of the world at Claviere
Ten days later we had a very nice picnic dinner on the banks of the river in Arles.
