• The concept of high-end picnics for individuals and companies is very widespread in the United States.

    Eloïse Lefort-Tournié, 27, decided to offer it through her company "Mon Joli Picnic" created in Nantes.

  • The young woman takes care of all the logistics from A to Z. All you have to do is put your feet under the table or on the beach.

As often, the trend comes from the United States.

And Eloïse Lefort-Tournié, 27, was inspired by it very freely.

In May 2021, she created her company in Nantes and developed an "unpublished" idea in France, the organization of high-end picnics for individuals and companies.

And as often in the emergence of attractive projects, it is by pure chance that the concept was born in the Pays-de-la-Loire region.

At the start of 2021, when Eloïse had just completed a professional skills assessment, she came across the account of a young woman on social networks who said that she had called on a company to organize a a picnic in a Seattle park for her fiancé's birthday.

"Seeing the photos, I had butterflies in my stomach..."

Very quickly, the one who had already lived in Seattle came into contact with American society.

She realizes that the concept is very widespread there.

Why not export it to France?

May 2021, “Mon Joli Picnic” was born.

The beginnings are in their infancy due to a lack of communication and due to a still omnipresent Covid-19.

Since the beginning of the year, Eloïse has been “working overtime at the level of com” “There are more requests.

On average, two per week.

Three formulas offered

The one who works on her own in marketing consulting for companies offers turnkey picnics.

Birthdays, wedding anniversaries, family celebrations or just a need to get away from everyday life, Eloïse takes care of everything from A to Z. in a public place such as the beach or at private homes or in VIP places with which I am in partnership in the Nantes region [Manoir de Procé, Compagnie du Café-théâtre in Nantes, etc.] and I bring the food , aperitif boards created by local artisans.

“His area?

The entire Pays-de-la-Loire region.

"Mon Joli Picnic" offers three formulas throughout the year, "even in autumn and winter", specifies Eloïse.

Either the basic picnic,

"romantic date"

, for two or with the family, or

"movie time"

or cinema at home, outdoors (gardens, parks, beach) or in the living room (again, Eloïse reports pregnant, big screen, etc.), or the

"let's party"

reserved for companies (birthdays, retirements, team building, etc.).

In case of rain, Eloïse, who cannot serve alcohol (unlicensed) but provides champagne glasses and wine glasses if customers bring them back, has invested in a transparent bubble that can accommodate 4 to 6 people.

The rates ?

From 150 euros to 250 euros.

In the event of a problem, La Nantaise undertakes to stay nearby.

In the meantime, the concept pleases.

“The feedback is excellent.

The other day, a husband surprised his wife on a beach in Bernerie-en-Retz.

When I saw the woman's smile, I tell myself that I have totally succeeded in my professional retraining..."
