GIVERNY 

The garden of the great painter Claude Monet is a place of memory, a  place of creation. Seing the garden one remembers his research for transparence, his quest to capture colours on different backrounds, in the shade, or in full sun-light ... The Giverny watergarden is a place  of stunning beauty where all  shadows are calculated : in the center, infinite variations of the sky, on the borders, the thickness of the reflexion of vegetation... 
In spring, crocuses are near to the ground. In May, the irises rise a little higher. The roses and clematis in June are majestic. And in Automn, the magnificent dahlias mingle with masses of velveted asters.
An additional visit to the  Museum of Impressionism is advisable.
By train it will take about one hour from Paris to  Giverny.
(Half or full day outing)
