Claude Monet
14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting.
He is also my favourite painter
I had to go and visit his home and gardens in Giverny.
I have always wanted to do this but somehow missed the opportunity.
On a beautiful Saturday morning we boarded a train at Saint Lazare in Paris and headed from
Vernon-70kms to the West of Paris.
We were advised by one of our guides to hire on of these so we did.
It was a fabulous 20 minute ride through the gorgeous French country side to
Maison Monet.
I was truly in Heaven, biking through the French country side with my two friends and feeling like school girls.
We passed by beautiful fields filled with wild poppies
Being a Florist I couldn't quite believe it. But this was just the beginning
There was so much more to come ...
Just a glimpse - the true water lilllies off the canvas for me.
