You’ll love this chic picnic in Versailles

What if the real surprise of summer was hidden in a wicker basket? The Waldorf Astoria Versailles – Trianon Palace unveils a gourmet experience that combines elegance and the great outdoors, just a stone’s throw from the château.

A picnic basket that stands out from the crowd

Chef Frédéric Larquemin revisits the exercise with Parisian refinement: smoked salmon wraps, quinoa with grilled vegetables, mature cheeses and pastries by Eddie Benghanem. At €59 per person, the ” L’Échappée ” offer lets you explore Versailles, basket in hand. A nomadic and elegant format, designed for the discerning stroller and heritage lover alike.

Mineral water is included, the freshness of the produce is on point, and the whole evokes a gourmet lunch as much as a discreet tribute to the surrounding nature.

A romantic (but exclusive) version

For those who prefer to enjoy their meal on the spot, a “Romantic” formula is available at €160 for two, exclusively for hotel guests. The garden becomes a jewel box, and the picnic a suspended moment. There are no crowds here, just a precious tranquillity reserved for the initiated.

It’s a hushed luxury, reminiscent of the splendor of the Trianon, while at the same time highlighting the art of French living. Each basket must be ordered by 9 a.m. the same day, and by reservation only – a detail that reinforces the exclusive aspect of this gourmet escapade.

Versailles, the confidential summer version

Beyond the food, the restaurant offers a complete experience. Relaxation in the garden, seasonal cuisine, an intimate atmosphere: everything is designed for a gentle summer. Perfect for couples or families, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris. And just a few minutes from the capital.

Book before it’s too late.
