We passed the la fete nationale, Bastille Day, as follows: We attended a great LACMA double-bill featuring the suave, yet underrated, French film actor, Charles Boyer.
C’etait vendredi, that was Friday.
We then flew to San Francisco on Sunday and enjoyed a cafe creme and pain au chocolat at Cafe de la Presse.
Vive la France.

Bonne Fete, Deb! Cafe de la Presse rocks; one of my guilty pleasures since moving to the Bay Area from LA is treating myself to a couple journaux en francais over a lovely plate of oeufs en meurettes avec un petit cafe for breakfast. Fantastique! Regarding Charles Boyer: ooh-la-la.
