An Afternoon in Giverny - Tour from Paris



Explore the garden of Claude Monet in Giverny, where the famous impressionist artist painted the Water Lilies series. The artists’ pastel pink and green house has a lovely airy studio, which now houses reproductions of his work. Monet’s beautiful garden in Giverny is particularly delightful for its profusion of flowers in every imaginable shade and colour.

The subject of the Water Lilies series, the water pond and the Japanese bridge are a beautiful sight. The bridge is covered in purple wisterias, planted by Monet himself.

The American Art Museum houses paintings by American impressionist artists who came to France in the late 19th century. In fact, many sought inspiration and guidance from Monet, the ‘Painter of Light’.

A day trip from Paris, Giverny draws visitors to see the garden that inspired Monet to create such beautiful work.

D-Day Landing Beaches and World War II Memorials - Tour from Paris



Revisit the site of the Battle of Normandy (1944) and learn of the events of World War II. Visit the D-Day landing beaches, which was the site of the largest military operation in history.

Normandy has many memorials of World War II like the Pegasus Bridge, captured by British gliders from Nazi control. The D-Day landing beaches of Juno, Gold and Omaha once saw fierce fighting between the Allied Forces and Nazis in the historic Battle of Normandy and memorials are erected in honour of those who lost their lives.

The large number of graves in the American Military Cemetery stands testimony to the killings in the Second World War and has a pond and chapel for silent reflections. The ground is still pockmarked with bomb craters in certain regions and ruins of German fortifications and bunkers are not hard to find.

Take a trip to the D-Day landing beaches of Normandy and recount the events of World War II.
