Monet's Garden at Giverny

In the morning after breakfast we made our way to the Gare Saint-Lazare to catch the train to Vernon in Normandy. From there we took a "Tourist Train" to the the village of Giverny. It is here that French impressionist painter Claude Monet lived and worked from 1883 til his death in 1926.

His home and garden are now the Foundation Claude Monet Museum. We made our way to the museum and spent some time wandering around his garden, probably with every other tourist in the Normandy region that day. Its a popular place with the famed Japanese Garden where he painted his Famoud water Lily series of paintings.

After our visit her we walked around the village and settled into a quaint local establishment for an enjoyable lunch.

We then took the "Tourist Train" back to Vernon where we walked around the town before catching the train back to Paris.
