Description:

Get to know the area where Vincent Van Gogh chose to spend his final 100 days—in the charming countryside village of Auvers-sur-Oise. Continue to Giverny to explore the former home of Claude Monet and its lush gardens that inspired his Impressionist paintings.

Your day begins with a scenic drive Northwest of Paris to the commune of Giverny. Explore the tranquil home and workshop where many of Monet's works of art were created. Learn from your expert guide about how the town became a center of inspiration for budding Impressionist artists as you stroll through the verdant gardens—with views of the iconic Japanese bridge that was featured in many of Monet's masterpieces.

Depart Giverny and stop along the way at the Moulin de Fourges, a former mill that is now a traditional restaurant with splendid views across the River Epte. After lunch, arrive in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise. The village not only attracted Van Gogh, but also many other painters, including Cezanne, Daubigny, and Pissarro. Before making your way back to Paris, take some time to wander through the quaint town and see the church that appeared in one of Van Gogh's paintings—and served as his final resting place.
