Giverny and Seine Valley Tour
On leaving Paris city, you will drive, by minibus, through Le Vexin which is
one many of the charming parts of Paris' surroundings. Within the hour, you
will reach the enchanting village of Giverny. Visit the property of Monet,
restored thanks to the generosity of American donors, the house and gardens
of the impressionist painter represent forty years of his life. Here, he
painted his immense Water Lilies series, as well as the Hay-Stacks and
Poplars series, the Wisterias, Japanese Bridges... Today, his house has been
transformed into a museum, and the gardens have been replanted as Monet
wanted them to be. Then onto La Roche Guyon to visit the Castle (and its
dungeon). The Lords of La Roche Guyon are attested at the end of 11th
century. The situation of their stronghold, at the border between the
principality of the Duke of Normandy and the grounds of King de France,
enabled them to exploit for a long time the competitions between these two
powerful lords to guarantee their independence. |

Le Moulin de Fourges RestaurantBe ready to fall in love with this place ! How could one resist the bucolic charm of this two-hundred-year old moulin (mill), whose mossy wheel turns peacefully, carried by the stream of the river Epte ? It looks like a dream of a mill, just as everybody invented it for himself one day in a corner of his imagination. The story of its construction may deliver the secret for this magic. It is told that the mill of Fourges was erected by the builders of the Hameau de la Reine (the Queen's Hamlet) near the Palace of Versailles, this replica of a village where Marie-Antoinette fancied herself a farmer, far from the Court constraints. It is well known by anglers, painters as well as gourmets coming from Paris or much further, like Hillary Clinton who dined here. Flowering Calendar in GivernyApril - Tulips,
pansies, forget-me-nots, narcissi, aubrietas, cherry and crab-apple blossom,
daffodils, etc. |
