Giverny is a lovely Norman village, a place of inspiration where Claude Monet, master of the Impressionist movement, created his most beautiful works.
By visiting the artist's house and gardens, still in its original look, you will let yourself carried away in Monet's imagination. The house, pink and green outside and full of color inside, and the two gardens, covered in flowers from spring to autumn, are themselves an exceptional work of art. When crossing the Japanese bridge inside the Water garden, you won’t miss the famous water lilies and the majestic weeping willows decorating the charming pond. In the paths of the Clos Normand (Norman enclosed plot), the flower beds will dazzle your eyes by the endlessly varied colors and will lead you to daydream and romantism...
You will then take place at a restaurant in the village where you will enjoy a quality Norman cuisine, whose recipes date from the master's time. This will be the occasion for you to go on your trip through Monet's time.
You will complete your visit of the Monet's house with the one of the Musée des Impressionnismes. This one will invite you to discover the origins of the Impressionist movement in all its diversity and its influence over the artistic world. In the same spirit that leads Giverny, the museum owns a stunning garden composed with flower beds, aromatic plants, roses and a wonderful poppy field.
After striding along the streets of this charming little village, and strolling in the painters and sculptors' galleries, you will stop at Au Coin du Pain'tre, a lovely hand-crafted bakery where time seems to have stopped. Located on the end of Claude Monet's street, next to Sainte-Radegonde Church and Monet's grave, you will enjoy a gourmet break exclusively reserved for you.
The trip ends and you will go back home filled with wonder by the sweet life of the Impressionist Normandy... See less
