Its always greener on the other side…!

Things to do in the city on the weekend are tiring you and you just don’t know what to do to with yourself this weekend ?!?!?!?! Well, My Little Black Book focused this week on what should quickly become your lifestyle this summer: The Picnic!

We have 3 steps to get yourself organised!
1. Get started by selecting a spot! To direct you in the jungle of potential locations based on your desires and needs, le guide des places de pique-nique is undoubtedly your best ally, with 1001 small corners of paradise in the Suisse Romande - you simply don’t have any valid excuse not to find yours!
(Available in most books stores and certain train stations.)

2. Next is to satisfy your stomach by delicious goodies from home - and if inspiration is not at your side, you can always steal ideas in the 2 essential books on the topic:
- Picnic, published by Marabout for motivated beginners
- Vive les Pique-niques! from Hachette for crazy adventurous girls.

3. Last but not least: the equipment. For every respectable picnic you simply have to have a Picnic Basket along with the other paraphanalia!
A traditional real wicker basket, fully equipped with all the necessary equipment for a luncheon on the grass even with china try The Optima Company - available at Globus.

For a trendy option, you can wrap your picnic cloth like a Furoshiki for example and change it into a very chic bag into which you can quickly slip your plastic LUX tableware by Starck. Ladies ... what class!

Can you already hear the sound of fresh grass under your feet, the water lapping against the pebbles and particularly the cheers of your friends amazed by so much elegance – bring out that Picnic!
