Giverny Tour
|
This tour of Giverny starts with a pleasant one hour drive, roughly paralleling the Seine, to the eastern edge of Normandy, the province in which Claude Monet was born (Le Havre), where he frequently worked (often around Honfleur), and where he spent the latter part of his life (in Giverny).
Monet's home and gardens have been substantially restored, and they offer a glimpse into the master's private life, his
daily routine, his place of work and (especially during the summer) into the sources of inspiration for so many of his most famous paintings, including the unique water lily series now housed at the Marmottan and Orangerie Museums in Paris.
Those sensitive to the special relationship between French and American art will also enjoy including in this private tour of Giverny a visit to the American Art Museum located next door. Others with a more gourmet predilection will not want to miss a fabulous lunch at the 'Auberge du Prieure Normand' in near-by Gasny, an unforgettable bargain.
