Half-Day Guided Tour of Giverny Monet's Gardens from Paris

Depart from central Paris and soak in the rich green landscapes while traveling in a comfortable air-conditioned coach to the little village of Giverny in Normandy. Lend your ears and imagination to Monet’s world, as a professional guide leads you through aspects of the impressionist’s daily life by visiting his studio and his home.
