The fouta for a picnic: the ally of the outdoors

An ideal accessory for convivial outdoor moments

When we think of an outdoor picnic, we usually imagine a large blanket or thick tablecloth. Today, however, fouta XXL is the ideal alternative, thanks to its light weave, easy care and resistance to dirt.

In this article, we'll look at why fouta is perfect as a picnic mat, how to choose it properly and how to maintain it for long-lasting use.

1. XXL fouta: a practical, comfortable format

One of the main advantages of fouta XXL is its large format, which can accommodate several people. Unlike conventional tablecloths, which are often too small, fouta XXL offers a large surface area, ideal for sharing a meal outdoors.

• More space: an XXL fouta is usually between 200 cm and 300 cm long, enough to accommodate an entire family.
• Optimum comfort: Its soft cotton weave makes it comfortable to sit on, even on uneven surfaces.

2. Lightweight fabric, easy to carry and fold

One of the disadvantages of thick blankets is that they are bulky and difficult to transport. Unlike thick blankets, fouta is extremely light and folds up in seconds to fit easily into a bag.

Why choose a fouta rather than a classic picnic mat?

✔️ Ease of transport: A fouta is much lighter than a wool or polyester blanket.
✔️ A compact fabric: Even an XXL version takes up very little space in a bag.
✔️ A breathable textile: Unlike synthetics, cotton allows better heat regulation and prevents moisture build-up.

3. A dirt-resistant, easy-care fouta

At picnics, crumbs and food/drink stains often find their way onto the fabric. Unlike thick tablecloths, which easily absorb liquids and retain crumbs, fouta is very easy to clean.

• A fine weave that won't catch dirt
• Quick machine wash at 30 or 40°C
• Express drying in just a few hours
