Realize I'm a little late in the comment department, but your annoying table neighbors is why Paris restaurants have their 'American room'.

many years ago we booked a table with the same amount of drama in the middle of the night in Australia and received a booking for a table for 2!!...hence our 11 and 13 year old had a long picnic in the shade next to the restaurant ...much to their delight Thomas Keller in full chef whites at the end of service marched over to our hire car and delivered a platter full of petit fours and chocolates to two very delighed children...at least they got to meet him!! a great memory!

Susanne, You're right about "you have to expect anything", but - in my opinion - a bit of common sense in how to behave doesn't hurt the dining companion at the next table ;) Tracy, Mind you, the casual talking or occasional giggling and laughter doesn't tick me off - it's obnoxious and intrusive behavior I'm not too fond of...

beautiful photos! funny story! the last time i went to the french laundry it was sooo quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Because people in my party weren't afraid of talking, we got stared at the whole night. Food was awesome- everything was great! It's an experience anyone who is into food must have.

**btw, we weren't talking loud! just normal levels**
