There you will discover the famous gardens created by the most famous of the Impressionist painters often referred to as the father
of Impressionism, though not the first to have painted in « a style that would become known as Impressionism ».
You will enjoy the sight of the well-known Japanese bridge in the midst of its flowered paths and wather-lily ponds, and the house, with its pink crushed brick façade, where the leader of the Impressionist School spent 43 years from 1883 until his death in 1926.

After a morning spent in one of this most inspirational settings, you will head off to the banks of the Epte River where you will have lunch at the lovely “Moulin de Fourges” restaurant, a 200-year-old mill. The architecture of this listed site, dating back to the 18th century, draws its inspiration from hamlet of Marie-Antoinette at Versailles.

Isabelle was SO knowledgeable - we learned so much during our day together. She knew exactly how to guide us through the large crowd at Versailles and made sure we could see everything, hear everything, and could get great pictures. We loved the morning with her at Monet’s garden too!

Isabelle, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. She was an excellent driver. Giverny’s gardens are beautiful and the house interesting. Versailles is opulent. Our lunch stop was charming. My only complaint is the crowding as we walked through Versailles.

From the moment we were picked up at our hotel by Olivier we knew we were in for a treat. He was so kind and thoughtful and to top it off he was extremely knowledgeable about French history and the two places we visited. We picked up another couple at Paris Trip and off we went. How wonderful to be a group of 4. We love Monet and what a wonderful treat to see his wonderful gardens and his home. Monet said, "My greatest masterpiece is my garden." and it was amazing. We loved walking through the charming town of Giverny and visiting the church and cemetery where Monet was buried. The lunch at Moulin de Fourges was a wonderful surprise--the setting was gorgeous and the food was amazing!! Then off to Versailles. Olivier was so so well versed about the grounds, palace and the history of the place but also of France that we were thrilled. Also great that we avoided most of the lines and crowds. It is a long day but well worth it! We would recommend both this tour and Olivier to anyone who is interested. It was a totally amazing day!!

Giverny was beautiful, lunch was wonderful and Versailles was amazing! Tour guide Kevin was great. Worth every penny. Hotel pickup made it a completely stress free day to enjoy the excursion. Would have loved to stay longer at both locations but distance just did not allow. Would have liked to know a little more history on Giverny and countryside we passed through while traveling to locations.

Viagem lindíssima, super recomendo. A única questão é que o tempo livre em cada lugar deveria ser maior do que foi, pois há muita coisa para visitar.
