Get out your best outfits! On June 30th, the town of Port-Marly is organizing a costume picnic with an Impressionism theme to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the artistic movement.

Imagine traveling back in time for a moment. Go through the decades that came before ours without stopping in the vibrant hippie fashion of the 70s or the excitement of the 20s. Keep going a bit further... And there we are: the 1870s, the golden age of Impressionism. An artistic movement that showcased the talents of Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and many others. It was during this time, when women wore elegant dresses and men donned suits and top hats, that the town of Port-Marly invites you to visit for a day. On June 30th, the event "Déjeuner sur l'herbe" takes over the Ile de la Loge to celebrate 150 years of Impressionism and escape for a few moments from the bustling daily life of Paris. Hey there!
