My friend and colleague Heidi Ellison (of Paris Update) alerted me that there was an impressive new show of Caillebotte's work done while he lived at the family estate in Yerres and we went out on a rather cloudy day today. But the flowers were beautiful, the park large and inviting and the collection of exotic pheasants nearby the museum entrance were intriguing. After lunch we toured the 40 some Caillebottes - they are dazzling. Many come from private collections and others from famed museums. I simply loved the show.
3 Wow's. Until July 20. For food out there, see my post above for the Chalet du Parc.
Directions to the exhibition are to take the RER D (direction Melun/Malesherbes) to Yerres, get off and hop on a nifty "F" bus that transports you near enough to the Estate/Museum/Property/Museum in no time. Or take 20 minutes and walk - follow the signs from the station to the park where the Caillebotte exhibit is located. The town of Yerres has done a good job of welcoming visitors to the exhibit.
