France
There is a bench in Montmartre, two minutes' walk from Sacre Coeur, which has the most stunning views of Paris.
Buy a picnic of baguettes, some cheese, ham, olives and a bottle of wine from one of the many little shops in the village and just enjoy the amazing views.
It is bigger, quieter and in my opinion the most beautiful park you will find in Paris. Parisians will actually leave central Paris to go to this park in summer- that's saying something!
You cannot help but be impressed by its scale. It has the 'grand canal', fountains, a chateau and huge expanses of immaculately kept lawns. But what is also nice is that you can take smaller plane tree lined paths that guide you through a series of more secluded areas. Both elements work seamlessly together.
Undoubtedly the best place to have a picnic in summer!
