Ladurée Picnic

Top choice in Paris


The first of its kind, Ladurée Picnic specialises in just that – picnics, albeit exceedingly fine, gourmet picnics to take away in the famous patisserie's signature peppermint-green packaging. Luxury salads include lobster or aromatic salmon; there are flavoured waters like ginger and coriander and mint and cucumber; and the rainbow of cakes and macarons are simply out of this world.

The good-value lunch menu (€14.50) includes a salad, drink and giant macaron. Should you be in the market for breakfast (€9.50), go for a coffee, goji berry and pomegranate juice and croissant aux noix (walnut croissant).
