Last Sunday we went to
visit Monet's gardens at Giverny. It was very hot but the
ride was very pleasant.
Firstly, towards Vernon, where we picnicked along the Seine. We found a very nice place with few people. To get there, go past Vernon Beach (without interest), cross the bridge, and it is right after the bridge on the right: big spaces to play, tables, trees for shade .
Then to Giverny : it is imperative to buy tickets before on fnac.com, you avoid the queue at least one hour!
Here, you walk in the very fresh gardens. All the flowers were in bloom, even the famous waterlilies: a wonderfull place
You also visit Monet's house.
In all, it takes one hour visit.
We went back home because it was really too hot especially for Anthony, our baby, but we had planned to go to Auvers sur Oise, the village of Van Gogh.
