Lunch on the Grass in 1900 costumes

It's a convivial occasion, where everyone is invited to take part in period costume (from around 1900) and bring their own picnic, which will also be decked out in the finery of yesteryear.
So no coolers, even for drinks (unless they're wrapped in wicker or in wicker trunks), and no pets either. And to complete the picture, don't forget the white or checked tablecloth (or, failing that, a white sheet).

It consists of a series of 5 figures: the trousers, the summer, the hen, the pastourelle (or the trénis) and the finale (or Saint-Simonienne).
