Giverny is a tiny village west of Paris which has been made famous by the painter Claude Monet calling it home. In 1883 Monet fell in love with the place through a train window. He found a house there, moved in with his lady-friend, his two sons, and her six children, and stayed until his death in 1926.
Monet initially painted the countryside, but after 1890 when he bought the house he lived in and began transforming the gardens, he began his famous waterlily paintings. He had a water-garden constructed, even diverting the local river to achieve his vision.

Outstanding day trip. Our guide drove us through the countryside and small villages, to get to our destinations. Such a treat. We got to Giverny ahead of the biggest crowds which made for a better visit. Lunch was in a delightful rural setting. All in all a wonderful full day.
