Description

Pay homage to Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet on a full-day small group tour from Paris. You'll take a guided tour of Auvers sur Oise, the village where Vincent van Gogh spent his last 100 days and travel to Giverny to see Monet's house and gardens. You'll be picked up and dropped off at your centrally located Paris hotel by air-conditioned minivan. Maximum of only 8 passengers and ensures you'll receive individual attention from your expert tour guide.

Introduction

Travel to Giverny to visit Claude Monet's house and gardens. Your tour takes in Monet's restored home, garden and workshop at Giverny, where Monet lived from 1883 to 1926. A particular highlight is the water-lily pond with its famous Japanese bridge which featured in many of Monet's masterpieces.

Visit the Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny. Artists traveled to Giverny to meet Claude Monet and draw inspiration from his impressionist techniques. Next, enjoy lunch at the Moulin de Fourges before arriving at Auvers sur Oise.

The final stop on your artists' tour before returning to Paris is a visit to Auvers sur Oise, where Vincent van Gogh painted his last works before his death here in 1890.

This was an excellent trip and very well organised. Pick up was on time, only 4 on the trip in a small minibus. At Monet's Garden early before large crowds - absolutley stunning. Lunch at a nearby mill was very tasty and included in the price. Visit to Auvers sur Oise was very informative regarding the last 100 days of Van Gough's life. Taken to many excellent locations within the town related to Van Gough. Only a quick journey then back to Paris to be dropped at our hotel. Do not miss this trip.

This trip was the highlight of my trip to Paris. Our guide was on time for pick up, easy to talk to and knowledgeable of the areas and the painters! Lunch was included and was very good as well. A great value for anyone wanting to venture out of Paris to see the countryside and the beautiful gardens of Monet's house. Also a perfect excursion for a Van Gogh fan (you will see all the best sites of Auvers!).

It was a wonderful day. The guide, being Scottish, spoke perfect English and was extremely knowledgeable. The lunch at the country inn, however, was dreadful along with the bad wine. Definitely a stop for tourists.Until then I didn't think one could get a bad meal in France. But the tour itself was great.

It was a lovely day, beautifully organized to avoid long lines and traffic. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and went out of her way to be helpful when we lost a pair of glasses. Couldn't have been better!
