On my recent trip to France I promised myself that I would finally
visit Monet’s garden. I have been to France numerous times and
never made it there, which is very silly as it's so close to Paris.
Monet lived in Giverny, a village in the region
of Normandy in northern France only 74km from Paris. If you are in Paris, there are half and
full day tours that you can take which I would highly recommend.
It wasn't a disappointment at
all. It was just like walking into the
artists painting. Full of colour and
beautiful flowers everywhere. It was absolutely stunning and quite moving to be
there having seen his paintings all my life.
There are three parts to the visit, the colourful gardens full of
flowers, the water garden with the famous lily pads and bridge and a tour around
his house with many of his paintings adorning the walls. There is also a nice restaurant where you
can get a light refreshment or a full meal.
I am so glad that I finally made the time to go this time as it has
become one of the most favourite places I have ever visited.
