Paris Picnics
We are going to Paris in just under three weeks... Would like to have your suggestions for the best places to picnic there and some assurance that it's legal to drink wine in parks etc while picnicing.
Merci

It isn't legal to drink in public but no one will bother you if you are discreet about it. There are only a few grassy places to spread out, otherwise it isn't allowed but instead you could use a park bench...

Luxembourg Gardens with a chicken salad sandwich on dense whole wheat bread, bought premade from a bakery. It's kind of a hassle to tote around a bottle of wine, corkscrew, glasses imo. We just eat at the 'picnic', then stop into sidewalk cafes for the wine later on.

Alcohol is authorized in all Paris parks except the Jardin des Halles, where the ban is clearly posted on signs. This does not stop anybody, especially the homeless drunks at whom the ban is aimed, but it gives the police an excuse to pick them up if they get rowdy.
