Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation in central Paris and invite you to relax and enjoy a journey into art history in the footsteps of two of the most famous artists of their time, Claude Monet to Giverny and Vincent van Gogh in Auver-sur -Oise.
You will start your visit with the gardens and the idyllic house of Claude Monet in Giverny, located at the gates of Normandy. The head of the Impressionist school lived there from 1883 to 1926. Monet's house, an impressive place with colorful decor and a pink brick facade, is intimately reminiscent of Claude Monet's former life. Take advantage of the precious collection of Japanese engravings exhibited in several rooms, hanging on the marmer chosen by the master of Giverny himself.
Admire the gardens with its rectangular Clos Normand, with arches of climbing plants intertwined around brightly colored shrubs, which stands in front of the house and the workshops, offering from spring to autumn the varied palette of colors for the painter-gardener " ecstatic with flowers. " Then, a little further, take a relaxing walk in the Water Garden, formed by a tributary of the Epte and shaded by weeping willows. Stop in front of a breathtaking view with the famous Japanese bridge, its wistarias, its azaleas and its pond, which has once again become this coffin of sky and water which inspired the series of works by Claude Monet known as "The Water Lilies ".
Then you will have time to enjoy the village and have lunch before leaving in the early afternoon with your guide and heading to the picturesque village of Auvers-sur-oise, located about an hour from Giverny, cradle of impressionism, but also best known for welcoming many artists including Vincent van Gogh, master of post-impressionist painting, who spent the last 70 days of his life there.
End this moving day by visiting Auver-sur-Oise, this picturesque site whose inhabitants and the surrounding area inspired Vincent van Gogh with more than 80 works and 64 sketches. Pay a final tribute to Van Gogh passing by the cemetery where he and his brother, Théo Van Gogh, are buried, before returning to Paris.
