Embark on a memorable journey into the heart of French Impressionism in Giverny. This charming village, situated roughly 45 minutes northwest of Paris, offers the perfect getaway from the bustling city life.
You'll start with a relaxing drive through the Normandy countryside in a comfortable coach, heading towards the town of Vernon. Here, you'll visit a local farmer's market and purchase food for a picnic lunch by the Seine, then you'll enjoy a leisurely cycle down a 5-kilometre bike path leading to Monet's House and Gardens.
As you traverse past striking wheat and sunflower fields, your guide will delve into the history of Impressionism and its founding father, Claude Monet. Upon arrival, you'll bypass any queues and have free time to explore the vividly hued flower beds that adorn every inch of the garden pathways, the iconic Japanese Bridge and renowned water lilies, as well as Monet's preserved home.
