Are you thinking yet about Mother’s Day gifts 🎁 coming up in May?
A Paris florist 🌸 letter would be lovely.
Go to Gare Saint Lazare. At Vernon take the shuttle bus outside the station on the right (10 minutes - 8€ R/T) to Monet’s house. More details here.
I usually don’t go inside. Too crowded.
But it’s beautiful & serene.
Seeing the gardens from the house gives you a different perspective.
A Paris gardens letter for Maman peut-être/perhaps?
The flowers change monthly. check Giverny’s schedule.
Think pink for Maman?
Monet surrounded by his gorgeous blooms.
Giverny has one of the loveliest gardens don’t you agree?
Wish I could paint 🎨 like Monet. Who doesn’t?

Lovely seeing Giverny in the springtime sun with no crowds. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteIt is all a matter of timing ⏱️
DeleteThe tour buses arrive early!
Wonderful tip to go to Giverny late afternoon! Merci, Carol. I went to Giverny as part of a bike tour…we rode bikes from the train, picnicking along the Seine. Lovely experience. I would go back in a heartbeat. Next time, late afternoon, bien sur!
ReplyDeleteYour Floral, Impressionist, Park et al letters are gorgeous! They will make lovely Mother’s Day gifts. ❤️
Thanks Bonnie 🌸
DeleteGiverny is one of those last minute trips it’s easy to do from Paris 🎀
In 2007 my sister & I, her daughter & my 2 daughters did that bike tour also. It was lovely, a highlight of our 2-week stay in Paris.
DeleteWhen I was there you couldn't take interior photos, which just killed me in the kitchen! I'd return in a heartbeat but till I can, this is a fine visit!
ReplyDeleteThey changed that rule thank goodness 🙏
DeleteVisiting Giverny was a dream come true! The house is lovely and you can imagine having a meal in the yellow dining room or having tea in the kitchen area. It was as if the family just left and you have stepped down into the living room to see if anyone is still there. I have been to this area two times and each experience was slightly different in that the flowers had changed slightly. The pond across the way and the plantings are also spectacular. Thank you for bringing back lovely memories; I have revisited via books these days.
ReplyDeleteThey change the flowers every month 🌸
DeleteI once got there early, when they first open and got to see the October dahlias all to myself. Then the tour buses arrived !!
ReplyDeleteLove your springtime view of one of my fav places.
Thank you so much for gracing my walls with your lovely watercolors!

It’s amazing Ann
DeleteI stayed for a week with a painting group, ART COLONY GIVERNY & Caroline Nuckolls. The gardeners would let us in at 7 am. No one was there and we could paint.

I've visited a couple of times, and Giverny is always lovely!
ReplyDeleteI must hop on a train and visit Giverny soon!!
DeleteThank you Carol for the tour of lovely Giverny. I had no idea it was so close to Paris. Always wanted to go. Next trip, skipping Versailles for Giverny!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Giverny trip! Lovely to see the spring flowers. When I went there it was summer, I followed your advice and went in the afternoon and it was great. My computer background is a photo from this garden and it’s lovely, a nice distraction from doing work, ha ha!
