Lunch at the Museum

After struggling to view the paintings at the crowded Cezanne/Pisarro show at the Musee D'Orsay we retired to the restaurant where we got a seat by one of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rooftops of Paris. The food is decent (I had gorgonzola ravioli with broccoli cream sauce and a deliciously tart lemon pie and, of course, some beaujolais) but the room is really the thing here with its high frescoed ceilings and chandeliers. The waiters appeared extremely frantic, running breathlessly from dining room to kitchen and back with heavy trays without a break. Nice place but I wouldn't want to work there.
