As the sun graces the Belgian skies and summer breezes beckon, it's time to revel in the delightful tradition of picnics.
In the heart of Brussels lie three extraordinary natural reserves that promise a captivating blend of nature's splendor and chic leisure.
From the serene Duden Park to the picturesque Pede Park and Valley, and the enchanting Scheutbos Park, these classified reserves are destined to be your haven for a memorable, sophisticated picnic.



Picnicking is an artful blend of all that is delightful. It's a communion with nature, a gentle meandering through its wonders until we find that perfect spot to embrace us – a place ever so slightly sloped, by a shimmering water body, with the option for shade to rest, and sunshine to bask in its warmth. And most importantly, it's the joy of sharing with our loved ones, in serene seclusion, with a select few to create cherished moments.



A chic picnic also begins with the iconic wooden box, elegantly filled with delectable treats that tickle the taste buds.
Embrace the timeless art of preparing a picnic basket, as you curate an assortment of personal best-of handmade recipes, artisanal cheeses, freshly baked bread, succulent fruits, and indulgent desserts.
Each bite is a symphony of flavors that harmonize with the beauty of nature surrounding you.

Duden Park welcomes you with its lush greenery and majestic trees, providing the perfect backdrop for a peaceful picnic.
As you explore the gently rolling hills and serene ponds, find a spot under the shade to unwind and indulge in culinary delights.

Next, journey to the enchanting Pede Park and Valley, where meandering streams and verdant meadows welcome you into a picturesque paradise.
Stroll along the tree-lined avenues, and in the heart of this idyllic landscape, lay your picnic blanket for an intimate experience amidst nature's serenity.

Lastly, the captivating Scheutbos Park beckons with its captivating forest trails and wildflower meadows.
Let the rustling leaves and sweet fragrance of the blooms set the ambiance for a rustic yet chic picnic affair.
