Giverny libre: Jardines de Monet medio día

Half-day excursion from Paris to visit the house and the gardens of Claude Monet, the well-known Impressionist painter, with a professional guide. Immerse yourself in the world of the painter, famous for his landscapes and views of his garden, such as the "Water Lilies", the "Japanese Bridge" and "The Irises". Your visit includes the water lily pond, Monet's legendary Japanese-inspired bridge, his home and his studio. The trip by luxury air-conditioned coach to the small Normandy village of Giverny takes approximately one and a half hours. Monet lived there for 43 years, with his family of eight children, from 1883 until his death in 1926. Passionate about gardening and color, he designed his flower garden, fruit tree orchard and water garden as if they were works of art. You will see the central pathway leading to the house, bordered by nasturtiums and roses, and flower beds full of tulips, narcissi, daffodils, irises and peonies. Stroll through the Clos Normand Flower Garden, home to many plants of Eastern origins, to the water garden, famous for its water lilies, weeping willows and green-painted Japanese Bridge (bridges like this are traditionally red in Japan). Explore Monet's pink-plastered house: the blue reading room, the larder and the studio where he worked until 1889, reconstructed with the original furniture, and the sunny yellow dining room, a kitchen tiled with blue and white Rouen tiles and one of the most important collections of Japanese prints in the world. At the end of your visit, enjoy the village and the gift and book shop, housed in the former studio where Monet painted the huge Water Lilies canvases, stretching for more than 3,200 square feet, with postcards, posters, teas, books, official Claude Monet tableware and flower seeds.
