Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883 and lived there until his death in 1926. During that period many painters, mostly Americans were initiated into Impressionism by the master. Start your day with a guided walk through the gardens which inspired the famous "Nympheas".
Return to the coach and head for Versailles for lunch in a downtown restaurant. Continue back into the past and plunge into the world of Louis XIV at the heart of the Castle of Versailles.
While you visit the Grand Apartments, Hall of Mirrors and the Queen's Apartments, your guide will tell you all about the building of the castle and life at the court. You will also have free time to visit the formal gardens "a la Francaise".
Giverny and Versailles Fountain Show Special Program (April 01 to September 30):
