Giverny (4/5)



The home of Claude Monet is located 1hr NW of Paris. Giverny is a very quiet town with lots of art galleries, gardens, and tour buses. Monet’s home and studio is open to public and offers lots of opportunities to walk around his beautiful gardens and lily pond. It’s a lot larger than we both expected and we were thrilled to see the Japanese bridge that’s been painted so many times by this great master. Monet is buried just down the street and we were able to spend a very enjoyable time both at his home and in this charming town. We speculated that he’s making more money per day in the huge gift shop than he made during his entire life!
