Monet's Gardens Bicycle Tour

An excellent excursion outside of Paris is to Claude Monet's breathtaking gardens in Normandy. His unique house, the quaint villages of Vernon & Giverny and our fabulous bicycle ride along the Seine are a welcome change from the hustle-bustle of Paris. Allow us to make the out-of-town trip an easy and enjoyable one for you.

We'll go by rail through the beautiful wheat & sunflower fields of Normandy to the village of Vernon. There we’ll collect our bikes, head to the market for picnic supplies and then to lunch along the river in a beautiful park. Finally we’ll pedal down our private path to Monet’s gardens where we’ll spend the afternoon inside the most gorgeous landscape in Normandy.

Highlights of this tour include:

• Monet’s Gardens – imagine stepping into the canvas of your favorite Monet painting. Beautiful flowers, the Japanese Bridge and the famous water lilies await you.
• Monet’s House – visit the inside of Monet’s house to see where he lived and his fascination with Asian art.
• Vernon Farmer’s Market – purchase fruit, meat, honey, bread and drinks directly from their makers.
• Picnic – a beautiful park along the Seine with the vieux moulin just off the bank. Relax in the grass or take a seat at a picnic table while you enjoy your meal.
• Monet’s Grave – Monet is buried along with his family at the small Giverny church.
• Bike Ride – a 5km ride on a bike path nestled between the bluffs and the Seine River.
