  2. **Assemble the Platter:** Arrange the Camembert, saucisson sec, and other accompaniments (see ingredient list below) on a beautiful platter, wooden board, or in charming picnic boxes within a wicker hamper.
  3. **Prepare the Bread:** Slice the baguette into thick slices and set out with a small dish of softened butter or herb butter.
  4. **Set the Table:** Arrange plates, napkins, cutlery, and wine glasses (or sparkling cider glasses) for your guests.
  5. **Chill the Wine (Optional):** Chill a bottle of dry Southern French rosé or a bottle of sparkling Normandy cider.
  6. **Serve & Enjoy:** Tear off pieces of the baguette and enjoy with the Camembert, saucisson, tomatoes, radishes, fruit, and other desired accompaniments.
  7. **For Outdoor Picnics:** Pack the Camembert, saucisson, bread, and accompaniments in a cool bag or insulated container. Transport the baguette separately to prevent it from becoming soggy.
