A giant picnic brings together 4,000 people on the Champs-Elysees
At the foot of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, 4,000 lucky diners enjoy packed lunches offered by one of the avenue's eight restaurateurs, seated on a large checkered tablecloth over 200 meters long, unrolled for the occasion. Nearly 273,000 people have applied to take part in the event, which features the "world's largest tablecloth," made from 25 pieces of recycled fiber, and assembled by 150 people.
