Monet's Gardens by Tunnel
Wednesday 18 August 2010
France is home to some of the most beautiful gardens in all of Europe, with those at Giverny continuing to
give as much pleasure and inspiration today as they did to their creator, Claude Monet. The gardens have
been lovingly restored and give a vivid impression of Monet's favourite subject for painting. The gardens are
filled with poppies, lupins, delphiniums and peonies, and throughout the year the atmosphere is of abundant
colour and luxuriant growth. Arched bridges, painted an acid apple green, are festooned with wisteria and the
draped fronds of weeping willow frame the water lilies - Monet's paintings brought unnervingly to life.
Includes return travel by luxury coach, cross-Channel crossing and entrance to Monets Garden. Please note: Early morning start.
