Japanese bridges arc over lilypad-blanketed ponds, sunflowers stretch towards the sky, and colourful blossoms frame the quaint country home of Claude Monet in the quaint village of Giverny. Head out of the city to spend time exploring the pastoral charms of the village and landscapes that inspired this impressionist master.

Board a comfortable coach in the centre of Paris and settle in for the scenic ride through the French countryside to Giverny, a cluster of cobbled lanes and stone homes with greenery and flower gardens around every turn. Your time in Giverny is yours to spend as you see fit, whether you want to relax at a small-town cafe or dive right into your visit of Monet's estate.

Explore the well-preserved home of the artist, with its light-filled studio, period furniture, and fine collection of Japanese engravings. Peruse the souvenir shop's artwork, colourful housewares, and flower seeds, and then step out into the magical gardens themselves. A vibrant landscape of streams, ponds, weeping willows, and flower beds sprawls over the property, and you can imagine Monet himself out painting the play of light on his famous waterlilies as you roam the grounds.
