Bring a picnic; eat in the tearoom or restaurants (named after Hampshire villages Over, Middle and Nether Wallop); or order a gourmet hamper.

...Back along the canal Saint-Martin, hundreds of people continue bedding down on freezing concrete and paving stones, inside thin nylon tents propped up on cardboard or wooden pallets as insulation. Along a stretch of embankment an improvised sign has renamed "SDF Boulevard," G?rard backs into and zips up his tent to prepare for what he good-naturedly anticipates will be "another night, and more people wandering by." Further upstream, in a series of more permanent homeless camps by the canal, visitors are greeted with far less cheer - and told to go "back down there if you want a show...
