Step aboard an air-conditioned bus and depart from the center of Paris towards Claude Monet’s former estate. Explore Claude Monet's pink-plastered house, where he lived and worked. Imagine what Monet’s day-to-day life was like as you stroll through the fully restored ivy-clad house. Make your way to the lush green gardens, one of Monet’s greatest inspirations for his world-famous artworks.
After exploring Monet’s tranquil estate, enjoy a lunch break. Savor lunch at “Moulin de Fourges,” a 2000-year-old mill and traditional French restaurant just 10 minutes outside of Giverny, where you can indulge in a delicious three-course meal.
At Versailles, your skip-the-line tickets will allow you to bypass the long entry line, saving you up to 3 hours of standing in line.

Head outdoors to admire the estate’s impressive architecture and explore the beautiful French gardens, decorated with the famous Versailles fountains. At the end of the tour, you can choose to linger at the estate, or hop back on the coach to go back to Paris.
