Went to the Musée Marmottan et Monet via the Paris metro and enjoyed their collection of Monet paintings, medieval illuminations and Napoleonic portraiture. This was another converted mansion/hunting lodge that was given to the Institut de France. We had a moment of excitement when a visitor came out of the bathroom telling the security guard that there was "no water to flush the toilet" in English, to which the poor security guard replied "of course there is" and proceeded to charge into the restroom to demonstrate the toilet's function. Upon returning, the complained (as the visitor walked away) that they "don't have toilets where they live." It was actually pretty funny, but maybe you had to be there ...
We later had dinner at the Cafe Cassette where we had some very enjoyable lamb and the most veggies we'd seen in a long time. Not to mention excellent bagguettes which Chet went on about for too long. (Look for the gluten structures...) Turns out, they came from his favorite bakery. Uh oh ....
