About This Painting:

This little neighborhood cafe stands on one of the thoroughfares leading to Gare Saint-Lazare, one of the major railway stations in Paris.  A day has just started and soft morning light suggests it is going to be a nice day.  While two customers are enjoying an espresso on a sidewalk, another has stopped by to grab a freshly-baked croissant.

The Saint-Lazare Station is a huge, busy terminus for trains going to the suburbs and regions northwest of Paris.  It's been a favorite subject depicted in paintings of famous artists - Claude Monet and Edouard Manet among others.  If you plan a visit to Giverny to see Monet's house and garden, you'll most likely come to this station to take a train to Vernon to catch a connecting bus to Giverny.
