The Art of the Urban Picnic: Where to Lunch in the Sun Near Hôtel Antoine

When the sun comes out in Paris, the desire to eat outdoors becomes irresistible. And what better way to enjoy the city than with a relaxed picnic in one of its charming green spaces? 

Staying at Hôtel Antoine means you're perfectly located to enjoy both peaceful parks and gourmet delights just steps away.

 

Three Green Escapes Just Around the Corner

A few minutes' walk from the hotel, the Square Trousseau (Rue Antoine Vollon, 12th arrondissement) offers a peaceful, leafy setting with a Belle Époque feel, popular with locals. For a quieter atmosphere, head to Square Gardette (2 Rue du Général Guilhem, 11th arrondissement), where blooming rose bushes and open lawns make it ideal for a laid-back lunch. 

If you're looking for something more unique, the Coulée Verte René-Dumont — an old railway line turned elevated green walkway — provides tranquil picnic spots above the bustle of the city.
