A perfect, classic picnic evokes images of a sunny, breezy day in a grassy meadow or park. Here's what it might include:

A cozy, shaded spot under a tree, or a blanket laid out in a field with a view of rolling hills or a serene lake.

A wicker basket, gingham blanket, and reusable tableware.

Finger sandwiches, fresh fruit (like strawberries or watermelon), cheese and crackers, a crusty baguette, a selection of cured meats, a pasta salad, and homemade lemonade or chilled wine. For dessert, cookies or a slice of pie. Basically, like any French meal, the quintessential picnic has several essential parts:

the apéritif, which may or may not involve drinks the main courses, whose content we'll examine below dessert (I'll include cheese in this one). Try an easy French recipe for clafoutis, the baked fruit dish. all accompanied by a baguette or two, of course! You can prepare all these yourself, or, this being France, you can pick up part of the food at the local market or from a traiteur, the French equivalent of a delicatessen.
