Nothing more relaxing than déjeuner sur l’herbe. So sit down in the grass or along the water with a packed lunch from Ghent, which you can buy in a local shop. Do you prefer more comfort? The City of Ghent provides pink picnic tables all over the city, all year round. If you prefer picnicking inside – weird, isn’t it? – you’re welcome in a few public buildings and cafés.
