I was excited to walk through the personal gardens of Claude Monet in Giverny. So many of the vistas in the garden are now famous Monet paintings. I came to the garden three years ago in the early spring, and was interested to see how the flowers and trees were different now that it was summer. The main differenc
e was that the water lilies were in bloom! We spent the whole morning wandering around the gardens, lily pond and into Monet’s house and studio. In the afternoon, it was time to complete the circle and head back to Paris. The perfect way to end the day was going to the Museé d’Orsay, were we saw the original paintings by Monet.
