Monet in Normandy

We went to San Francisco to visit our friend Jean and also to check the Monet exhibition in the Legion of Honor museum (here http://www.monetinnormandy.org/).

Jean guided us to the French bakery one block away from his appartement. Since that bakery is only known by French, I will not reveal the name :)

The museum visit was great even if it was packed with people. We could not take any picture of the exhibit since it is forbidden. I still managed to get one shot of my favorite Monet's painting before the guard rushed and told me to stop :(



Only at SF or in France you can find those delicious desserts.












The only baguette that I know of in California which actually looks and tasts like a French baguette.
















Brioche + Orangina: life can not get any better.


















Quiche.

Hello
c'est chouette l'expo, mais pour votre prochain voyage à Paris il faudra faire un tour au musée de l'orangerie qui vient de réouvrir ses portes (en plus du quai branly, biensur!!)en attendant un aperçu de ce que vous pourrez y voir
