Head for Giverny, a charming village 80 kilometres from Paris on the borders of the Île-de-France and Normandy regions, where Claude Monet lived from 1883 to 1926. During the course of the day, you can visit the pink rendered house, restored as it was when the artist was alive, Monet's studio and the magnificent gardens with their famous water lilies, weeping willows and lushly coloured flowerbeds that inspired the painter.
But that's not all! If you fancy extending your excursion, the Musée des Impressionnismes is just a 3-minute walk away. This is dedicated to exhibiting and highlighting the Impressionist movement through exhibitions of paintings, drawings and photographs, revealing an approach to art from the end of the 19th century to the present day.
