Giverny

Giverny, water lilies pond with a weeping willow tree

World-renowned garden created by impressionist painter Claude Monet, this garden is in fact, divided in two parts. The flower garden also called the Clos Normand, where the main pink house stands. Full of perspectives, symmetries and colours with its numerous flowerbeds, it changes its appearance according to the season. The water garden accross the road, became later his main source of inspiration for the Waterlilies.

My favorite trips around Paris

Join me on one of my favourite guided trips around Paris. Enjoy a visit of la Malmaison, the splendid house where Napoleon and Josephine resided during the Consulate. Monet’s garden at Giverny is a very relaxing and peacefull area, at lunch time especially. Vaux-le-Vicomte is according to me the best palace to discover outside Paris, contemporary to Versailles, but less busy.
