Impromptu Garden Table

Christian Dior's chateau, Château de la Colle Noire , below.  My brain fizzing with questions about purpose originally, and use now.  Was this originally a plinth for a statue or urn?
.
On the right day/s, what a spot for an impromptu picnic !
.
Of course, it's a rabbit hole for the brain, merely seeing this picture, not the entire garden.
.
Immediately thinking of Martha Washington and her impromptu tables at Mount Vernon.  Their home a hotel of sorts, never knowing how many would be arriving for the nite, and meals.  At times they would set up long planks atop saw-horses, covered with a tablecloth, usually white, in the garden, or perhaps the piazza at front. Truly, a provincial version, of Dior's, below.
.
Which would be your favorite use, below, plinth or table?



Another plinth, below, at Dior's chateau.

Front piazza at Mount Vernon, below, overlooking the river & catching a breeze.

A recent meal, below, at Mount Vernon.  I would rather attend a private event at Mount Vernon, in the style of Martha.  Though, would happily attend, below !

What about dining in your garden?  Does the spot make you happy?  It should.
