We were warmly welcomed on board by the crew including our wonderful FA Caroline.  What a gorgeous cabin.  In my opinion, the most elegant First Class cabin in the skies.

And again today, the very strange "water only" policy until the doors close.  Just pay the CA tax on the champers.

Today's menu, featuring another one of our favorite chefs, Daniel Boulud.

And the wine list.  Nothing fancy but servicable selections.

And the star of the cabin!

A nice touch from the captain today as he walked into the cabin and personally welcomed the 4 of us on board, and apologized that he anticipated turbulence through much of the flight.
Once the doors closed, I heard the cork pop in the galley and Caroline brought out the Bollinger. 
 

Our classy cabin mate, another Hollywood type who I'm sure puts his feet on his furniture at home. 

After take-off, more Bollinger!

But a rather strange boxed snack unlike the usual plated nuts and fruit.  I'm thinking catering error today.  

Showtime!

Seasonal salad, just to say I had something healthy today.

Duck gâteau with truffles and Port wine sauce.

For our main, we both went Daniel Boulud and the Atlantic Lobster with curry, black rice and bok choy.

OMG... divine!

Said turbulence which came and went much of the flight, although nowhere near as bad as the wine on the ceiling on a Cathay flight a few years ago.

A little cheese?  Bien sûr.

For dessert, the Chocolate truffon and a little sorbet.

O-M-G.

Preparing the bed for 1K.

After a movie, Mrs. SFO777 decided to call it a night.  The privacy curtains are one of the most brilliant ideas in air travel.

We both slept for a solid 6 hours and woke with about an hour to go.    We also both passed on breakfast.   I figured I'd wait to eat in the lounge.

We landed a few minutes late and then taxied for some 15 minutes before pulling into our gate.  
What can I say?  This was a spectacular flight with wonderful Air France service.  It doesn't get much better than this.
