It is true that life is not a picnic - but on the 18th of June they are, because on this day we celebrate International Picnic Day.
Picnic Day is an opportunity to dine al fresco with your spouse, friends or family.
The word "picnic" comes from the French language, from the word pique-nique, which appeared in 1692 in the book Origines de la Langue Françaiseby Jill Ménage.
From the French language the word was translated into the English language into the word "picnic." Some think that the word also passed through the German language before the word Picnic.
A picnic is an outdoor meal that became a popular pastime in France after the French Revolution in the 19th century. Until the revolution, the parks in France were open only to the nobility and after that, the common people were also allowed to enter them. The picnics of the time were elaborate social events, with menus offering a variety of cold meats and pies prepared a few days in advance.
International Picnic Day is celebrated in many countries, although its origins are uncertain.
In honor of this day, picnics of charity events, picnics of schools and all kinds of groups are organized that are specially organized to mark the event.
