The size of the tour was perfect and the guide couldn't have been more engaging and knowledgeable. We were lucky to have Anatole as our guide. This was my second visit here, my first one being in the early summer. Both seasons were breathtakingly lovely. We arrived early so the crowds had not reached there peak. Monet is a fascinating artist and his home, decorated by himself, it a wonderful living tribute to the man.
