I’m nursing a sunshine and champagne hangover. Why? It’s all thanks to my first So Frenchy, So Chic in the park concert yesterday, an elegant affair at Werribee Park Mansion and a celebration of all things French.

With an invitation to attend the event from Renault, I could hardly say no to a chauffeured Clio to get us to and from the event, and a Sunday afternoon on a picnic run drinking champagne and eating cheese. Très fantastique!!

Our driver Robbie arrived exactly at the appointed time, in a red Clio, ready to whisk us away to the concert. An hour later and we were escorted to the Renault picnic area, a yellow umbrella covered grassy spot with hay bales and wine barrels. Within minutes we were seated and holding a flute of Laurent Perrier. The sun shone and the French musicians sang; hundreds of people had turned out to enjoy the perfect afternoon weather.

Cheese and strawberries, pate, grapes and baguette followed. Bright Young Things catering did a wonderful job and the food and wine was certainly divine. As was the music – the departure of Lou Dillion due to illness was not missed with Lilly Wood and The Prick, and Féfé, both providing gorgeous tunes to dance the afternoon away too.

Floral garlands and crepes were seen all over. It really was the most spectacular music festival I’ve ever been invited to. Never again can I attend Summerdayze or the Big Day Out and feel the same way – picnic rugs with cheese and bubbles is the only way to go.

It was also thrilling to be able to experience this event with so many other wonderfully chic ladies from the bloggersphere – Erica, Cheryl, Tiffany, Carly, Sarah and Lisa. Many thanks to Renault for looking after us in the chicest manner possible!!
