Itinerary
Your tour starts in central Paris
Your adventure begins at 12 Avenue des Ternes, just steps from the Arc de Triomphe. Meet your expert guide and join a small group of no more than 8 people. Then, boardaa luxury, air-conditioned minibus and settle in for a scenic 45-minute drive through the French countryside to Giverny.
Explore Monet's home in Giverny
Step inside the charming house where Claude Monet lived and worked for over 40 years. Wander through vibrant rooms painted in soft yellows and blues, where Japanese block prints line the walls alongside works by Renoir and Pissarro.
Stroll through Monet's famous gardens
Outside, the magic truly unfolds. Walk through the Clos Normand Garden, an explosion of seasonal blooms in purples, pinks, and reds. Then step into the Japanese water garden, where willow trees drape over the tranquil pond and those iconic water lilies float lazily on the surface.
Visit Sainte Radegonde church
Next, your guide leads you to the quaint Sainte Radegonde church where Monet worshipped each Sunday. Pay your respects at his final resting place in the peaceful churchyard before you continue with a 30-minute drive to Versailles.
Tour Marie-Antoinette's Private Domaine
After a lunch break, your guide takes you to Marie-Antoinette's Private Domaine and shares her fascinating, tragic story. Stroll among charming thatched-roof cottages and peek into the farmyard. It's an intimate glimpse into the queen's private escape from the pressures of court life.
