Not a "poisson d'avril"?

Residents of a quiet Toulouse square were fed up of people using the bollards, erected by the city council to restrict traffic, as seats for picnics or illicit street vending. So the council welded uncomfortable crosses onto the top of the bollards to make them unusable.

Now an opposition group has called for people to come on 9th April for an "apero qui fait mal aux fesses" - roughly translated as a "pain in the a**e picnic" . Those interested are invited to bring a cushion, or perhaps a pot of flowers to decorate a bollard.
The invitation, published on Facebook on 1st April, has attracted 25 party-goers so far.
