France - Giverny

Giverny, Seth and I decided, is the cutest place we went on the whole trip. We had an extra day where we wanted to go outside of Paris a bit, we thought about Disneyland Paris, since it would be cheaper to get to than it would be to go to Disneyland in California. However, after reading some reviews we decided to see something a little more interesting. We decided on the cutest little town you will ever see, Giverny.

Monet came here when he was growing tired of Paris, and a little community of artists was formed. We were able to go inside Monet's house and it was so adorable! I want to design a house just like it, some of the rooms were monochromatic, the dining room was yellow, the foyer was blue, so cool. Unfortunately they don't let you take pictures inside, but you can see some of it here.

It was rainy that day, but we had a really fun time. If you ever end up going here, I would give it a whole day. First we went through Monet's house, and then we walked through his extensive gardens, which are literally right from his paintings. Then, we walked around the town and visited the little museum of french expressionists.

Enjoy.
