• Departing from Paris, your driver guide will tell you the story of Giverny. It is primarily along the Seine, especially around Giverny, that raised the impressionist movement. Connected with the incomparable nature of the valley of the Seine, smooth, fluid and changing, Monet laid the foundations for a new painting based on the visual impression. In return the illustrious painter created the magnificent gardens at Giverny that glorify the beauty of creation.
• At Giverny you will discover, at your leisure, Claude Monet's intimate house and its wonderful gardens. You will enter more deeply into the mystery of Impressionist art : colors’ vibration, changing sensations at various time and light of the day. On the way back, your driver guide will take you into the countryside along the river Seine that inspired Monet and many other painters.
