•Picnic
des Chefs
A fun and sun filled day for the whole family. The Chefs of the Club will
pamper you and cook up a storm in an informal setting. We have changed

talent we have in the Club.
The Tour de France will feature dishes from various regions. Of course,
wine will be served to quench your thirst, along with Evian, French beer
and Orangina.
On the program is an incredible raffle, including tickets from Air France
to Paris and Tahiti as well as other fantastic prizes. And as if this
was not enough, a French DJ will keep us dancing or you may want to partake
in a game of volleyball or petanque.
For the kids there is ample entertainment: an enormous moon-bounce and
lots of games. Reservations must be made in advance, so please call Kora
now.

•Fête
de la Musique
Make Music Pasadena
 Held
on World Music Day and the summer solstice, in more than 300 cities in
over 100 countries, Fête de la Musique is the largest musical celebration
in the world
Everyone is invited to make music throughout the city on the longest day
of the year. Make Music Pasadena will feature internationally known headliners
performing to thousands at four main stages, and hundreds of amateur musicians
who will bring their musical talents to the streets.
Fête de la Musique began in France in 1982, and originated
as a way to promote music of all kinds while encouraging the public to
find its own artistic talents. Fête de la Musique aims at a large
audience to popularize musical practice for all ages and from all cultural
and social backgrounds, and creates an opportunity to communicate and
share a very special connection through music.

CINEMA
Double Feature:
•
BAY OF ANGELS
(LA BAIE DES ANGES),
1963, Cine Tamaris, 79 min.
One of director Jacques Demy's darker and more melancholy efforts,
his second feature (following his triumphant debut with LOLA) tells the
story of a vacationing bank clerk (Claude Mann) who gets involved with
compulsive gambler Jeanne Moreau.
Legend has it that Jacques Demy wrote the script for this classic in three
days during a production delay on Les Parapluies de Cherbourg! Michel
Legrand’s music is haunting.
•
MODEL SHOP
1969, Sony Repertory, 95 min.
Dir. Jacques Demy
Gary Lockwood stars as a young American who falls in love with French
model Anouk Aimée in this, Jacques Demy's only Hollywood
studio feature (it was financed by Columbia).
Aimee reprises her role as Lola from Demy's first film, but neither she
nor Lockwood is the real star of MODEL SHOP: That honor goes to the city
of Los Angeles itself, which Demy photographs with the same blend of wonder
and authenticity that characterize his French films.
This is no idealized version of Hollywood - it's an L.A. of supermarkets
and parking lots - yet Demy's romantic eye gives a style and dignity to
even the most mundane people and locations.

CINEMA
Double Feature:
•
THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT
(LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT),
1967, Miramax, 120 min.
Director Jacques Demy's love letter to American musicals, French
cityscapes and romance in general is one of his greatest triumphs, and
one of the most gloriously invigorating movies ever made.
The movie tells intersecting stories of a number of young dreamers - among
them are Catherine Deneuve, Françoise Dorléac and Danielle
Darrieux - who continually miss meeting their ideal mates by mere
city blocks - city blocks that are all authentic, as Demy matches realistic
location shooting with sheer flights of musical fantasy.
The entire film is an odd but entirely satisfying hybrid of dreams and
reality, a motif perfectly expressed by Michel Legrand's score
and Demy's typically precise color palette.
An added bonus: Gene Kelly in some of the most delightful moments in musical
history.
•
THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG
(LES PARAPLUIES DE CHERBOURG),
1964, Zeitgeist, 91 min.
Dir. Jacques Demy.
Auto mechanic Guy (Nino Castelnuovo) gets his girlfriend Genevieve (Catherine
Deneuve) pregnant just before he leaves to fight in the Algerian war;
they swear eternal allegiance to each other, but circumstances force Genevieve
to marry another man and move to Paris.

•Chef
A Table
Marché Moderne
Chefs: Amelia and Florent Marneau
Marché Moderne is the culmination of the illustrious careers of
chef Florent Marneau and his pastry chef wife, Amelia. Finally free from
decades of working corporate jobs (albeit at top OC restaurants), the
Marneau duo has created a modern bistro to their own liking.
Entrées, such as the braised short ribs with gnocchi, bacon and
crimini mushrooms in a red wine sauce or the roasted Italian sea bream
with sorrel, crème fraîche, capers and pomme frites, are
full of enticing flavors.
The crowning course, however, may be dessert: don't miss pastry chef Amelia's
creations, like a creamy nougat glacé with caramelized almonds
next to a fresh-from-the-oven warm madeleine cookie.
