Monet`s House and Garden

It is mid way through the week and only one more working day to go! Last week Alessio and I were in Belgium and I have not put the photos on the lap top yet so will have to wait a bit. Instead we will go back to the end of May and a trip to Paris.

Alessio and I visited Monet`s House and Garden in Giverny, it is not too far from Paris and we went with to the train. The gardens are quite far from the train station but there are shuttle buses to take or you could walk. I bought the tickets online and that helped with the lines to get in, which was just as well as it was a hot day.

As you can imagine and hopefully see from the photos that the garden was pretty amazing. So many lovely flowers and very colourful We wondered around the gardens for a bit and then queued to get into the house itself. It is such a beautiful house and you could imagine looking out of the windows and feeling inspired to paint. The rooms were just delightful and there were some of his paintings hanging too.

We then walked to the other side to see where he painted the famous water Water Lillies painting. The pond, the water lillies, the famous bridge and  trees were all really beautiful and it was packed with people taking lots and lots of photos.

I was really pleased that I have visited here as it had been on my bucket list for a while. It cost 10.20 euros for an adult and children over 7yrs cost 7.20 euros. You can also book a tour which makes it easier getting into the place, but definitely get your tickets online as it does make a difference.

Have a good rest of the week!!
