Lunch
Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883 and lived there until his death
in 1926. During that period many painters, mostly American were
initiated into impressionism by the Master.
We suggest you start the day with a guided walk through the gardens which inspired him for the famous “Nympheas”.
Do not miss the Japanese bridge !
Then, you can visit the house on your own: the painter’s furniture and his collection of etchings.
Back to the coach and head for Versailles for a lunch in a restaurant downtown.
Then we will take you back into the past and plunge into the world of Louis XIV in the heart of the Castle of Versailles.
While you visit the Great Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors and the
Queen’s Apartments, our guide interpreter will tell you all about the
building of the castle and life at the court.
You will also have free time to visit the formal gardens “à la Française”.
