Description

Embark on a full-day guided tour outside of Paris and immerse yourself in the art and history of France on a trip to Giverny and Versailles.

The first stop will be Claude Monet's estate in Giverny, where you'll learn about the Impressionist art movement and explore the ivy-clad house, lily pad ponds, and gardens that inspired Monet's Waterlilies, among several other romantic landscapes of the French countryside.

After lunch, the tour takes you to the Palace of Versailles, offering skip-the-line access and a comprehensive guided tour with a local expert.

The opulent rooms once entertained fellow aristocrats of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and their private chambers are still beautifully preserved. The palace's art collection rivals the finest museums, and you'll have the chance to admire it up close.

Outside the palace, you'll step into the sprawling 1,800-acre manicured gardens, and your guide will recommend a tour to help you navigate the maze of gushing fountains, lush hedges, and blooming gardens.

Fountain Show runs from April to October on Saturdays and Sundays
Musical Garden Show runs from April to October from Tuesday to Friday
