9. MONET’S HOME & GARDENS AT GIVERNY It’s awash in pink and green, adorned in wisteria, azalea and water lilies, and basked in dappled sunlight that is reminiscent of the works of its famous 43-year resident, painter Claude Monet. Giverny invites your discovery today on a morning excursion that shows you the artist’s home as he lived it and painted it. His pink stucco house gives the impression that his family of 10 still lives there; its rooms showcase his private furnishings and his collection of Japanese prints adorn walls throughout. Outside, you’ll find easels displaying works-in-progress in his garden studios, including replicas of the immense water lily paintings that hang in Paris at the Musée l’Orangerie, and the gardens that inspired them. If perchance you are not a gardener, viewing these floral wonderlands in person might plant the seeds for you to become one! You will have time to walk pathways bordered with nasturiums, hollyhocks, hybrid lilies or snapdragons, depending on the season’s blooms, and go through the tunnel that leads to the Water Garden and the oft-painted Japanese Bridge. You may want to pose for a photo or a quick sketch during your visit, perhaps painting your own impressionist work from it when you return home. Meet your riverboat in Conflans- Sainte-Honorine after lunch as it heads back along the Seine bound for Paris. You last night aboard ship will be a festive affair as you are invited to celebrate with us during the Captain’s Farewell reception and dinner. Meals BLD
