This event is part of Olympic Torch Relay: where to see the flame on July 15th

An "apéritif dînatoire" in an iconic Parisian park, open to all.

Highlighting Paris' bucolic side and the French art-de-vivre

Tablecloths spread across the lawn, inviting picnickers with their colorful and memorable "land art" display amidst the natural backdrop of the Buttes Chaumont in the 19th arrondissement.

A moment of pure conviviality where "slow life", festive and Parisian art-de-vivre come together to celebrate the Games.

As the flame passes by, dancers from the MOURAD MERZOUKI company, choreographers of the Dance of the Games, will take over the picnic lawn for a giant flash mob, turning picnickers into dancers. See you at 6 p.m.!

From 4pm onwards, basket stalls will be set up in the park in partnership with the Food Market, a familiar sight in eastern Paris, bringing together Parisians of all ages and social classes in a popular, festive and trendy atmosphere.
