Most people have seen Claude Monet’s work and are familiar with his impressionist style, but few are able to fully appreciate the effort the artist went to in creating an image of perfection in his garden at Giverny, where he spent forty years until his death in 1926.
Here, in a spectacular display of colour, you see Monet’s work come to life in the gardens of his home. See the Japanese-inspired water garden, inspiration for the famous ‘Lily Pond’ and ‘Water Lilies’ pieces and the home he shared with his family.
This holiday includes visits to some of the beautiful towns and villages in the area and enables you to appreciate the natural light and beauty that so inspired Monet, with the opportunity to paint your own masterpiece in a tutored art class in the delightful village of Giverny – a rare experience and one to be treasured with new friends.
