Monet’s Garden Bike Tour from Paris – Paris, France

EXPERIENCE:

Begin this full-day Monet bike tour with a scenic coach journey through the spectacular wheat and sunflower fields of Normandy. Speed by the lazy Seine River, and stop off at the village of Vernon. Here, you will visit the charming farmers’ market to buy picnic supplies. Then, hop-on your bike and pedal across the river to a beautiful park along the banks of the Seine.

After lunch, enjoy a relaxing 3-mile (5-kilometer) ride down bike paths to the village of Giverny. Cruise past Giverny Church and its cemetery, which contains graves of local citizens dating back to the 17th Century, as well as British soldiers from World War 2, and even Monet himself buried within his family’s vault.

Pass Hotel Baudy, where Impressionist painters Manet and Renoir used to paint. You will then arrive at the highlight of the day, Monet’s Garden. Spend about 90 minutes exploring the gardens and house, including the famous water lily pond where some of his most famous works originated.

Additionally, you can explore the village of Giverny, which boasts the American Museum of Art, located across the street from Monet’s Gardens, as well as numerous cafés and small streets begging to be discovered.
