Claude Monet’s house & ornate gardens was one of our first stops on the river cruise. I was very happy to see that spring had arrived and that the gardens were full of flowers.
The map below shows our walking path and what we went to see and photo.
The main street was narrow and many walking paths between old stone walls made a nice walking tour with out traffic… The tour was a short time and lots of groups were visiting this day so I didn’t go into the house. I wanted to go see the town and Monet’s grave. While we were walking in the town a nice rain came down and cooled the air. Adrienne and I found what I can only describe as a bus stop and spent a few quiet moments as we waited for the the rain to let up.
The flowers lining the the street going to the gardens were even impressive.
Museum had their gardens blooming as well…
Gardens of the Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny, France.
Adrienne was prepared with her rain coat…

This guy was near the bus stop we took shelter in… Adrienne said if i let my beard go this is what it would look like!
The twon was full of these narrow little walk ways.
