After pickup from your chosen meeting point in Paris, the day starts with a short 45-minute journey to the spectacular Palace of Versailles.

Enter with your personal guide and begin your visit, exploring the State Apartments of Louis XIV and the breathtaking Hall of Mirrors, and the beautiful gardens decorated with 55 fountains.
Giverny

2 hours

After your visit of Versailles your expert guide will drive you to Giverny through the picturesque landscapes of the French countryside that inspired one of the world’s great Impressionist painters.

Enjoy the comforts of your luxury transportation as you peer out your window to see the lush green hills dotted with small farms. It's easy to see what inspired artists like Monet.

After an hour-long drive, you'll arrive in Giverny and enjoy a break for lunch at your own expense before heading into Fondation Claude Monet (also known as his house and gardens).
The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet

2 hours Admission included

Rejoin your guide to skip the line into Monet's House and Gardens.

Start in the Clos Normand flower gardens, admiring a variety of blooms. Your guide will point out what you're seeing, and you may even pick up a handy calendar offered by the Claude Monet Foundation to see what flowers bloom each month here.

Next visit his studio and take a stroll through the beautiful water gardens, where you'll spot the Japanese bridge and lily pads from his Water Lilies series, among other paintings.

After you have visited Fondation Claude Monet, take some time to enjoy the village of Giverny on your own, walking past flowered houses, browsing art galleries, and stopping in cafes.
