A picnic by the Seine

What to do on a sunny Saturday in Paris? Why a picnic by the seine of course!

Key ingredients:
-4 (or more) good friends
- a blanket
- a well scoped spot along the water
- freshly baked baguettes from blé sucre, a local (and incredible) bakery in the 11th close to the Marché d'Aligre
- saucisson sec and thinly sliced Parma ham from our new favorite butcher (also in the Marché d'Aligre)
- fresh pears, cucumber, tomatoes, avocados, rocket and mandarins from the French organic market stall
- delicious cheese (a 36 month aged compté, a soft and creamy goat and a seriously stinky cheese)
- a chilled bottle of cheap and delicious rosé
- some fresh Madeleines and a few (ok...maybe more than a few) pieces of dark chocolate

Baguettes, Bike...en route to the Seine!

Instructions:
- Vélib to the marché in the morning (ps - Vélib is the public bike transport system in Paris. It's AMAZING)
- pop your purchases in the basket
- stop for oysters at Le Baron Rouge
- swing by home to pick up a knife, cutting board, glasses and the blanket
- Vélib to the seine
- scope a spot on the quai in the sunshine

Enjoy while watching the boats go by!
