Monet's garden at Giverny

 

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.

Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris

The heart of Paris, in July-August, with fewer people, less cars, I love. Every year, we really appreciate these walks in the center of the capital.

If you are with your children, I invite you to visit to "Notre Dame de Paris".

Indeed, throughout the summer of 2009, young volunteers from around the world, as every year, spend a few weeks "in the shadow of Notre-Dame" in the international community to Home.

They provide a host of pilgrims and visitors by offering to accompany them in a discovery of Notre-Dame de Paris, for his spiritual message through its history, its architecture, stained glass, the facade ...

This summer 2009, more than twenty young people from France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Italy, Poland and Russia which offer, Monday to Friday, visits in french, English, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Russian.

These tours are offered by the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, and thus free, and they last about one hour. Recipients can at the end of the visit, if they wished, make a donation to the Cathedral to participate in the accommodation costs of these young volunteers.

The point of information / appointment is behind the pulpit (see map above). Schedules and language visits were subject to change daily, so it is best to call the home to the cathedral to know: 01 42 34 56 10. These tours are offered Monday through Friday for Saturday and Sunday.
