IntroductionSee more than Paris and take a day trip to Monet's garden at Giverny and Louis XIV's palace of Versailles. The full-day tour combines the two most popular excursions from Paris in one trip. You'll explore France's royal history at the incomparably grand Versailles palace and see the gardens that inspired so many of Claude Monet's masterpieces at Giverny. Monet lived at Giverny from 1883 to 1926, and it was here that he created such paintings as his famous "Nympheas" water lily sequence. Monet was the master of Impressionism, inspiring many visiting American Impressionist artists who walked through the gardens you'll visit on your Giverny tour. The Japanese bridge crossing the famous water-lily pond also featured in Monet's paintings. Your tour continues to Versailles, on the way you will stop for lunch at the Moulin de Fourges, a picturesque mill on the banks of the Epte River. After lunch it's time for the glory and splendor of Versailles when you enter the gilded world of King Louis XIV. You'll visit the opulent Grand Apartments, the stunning chandelier-lit Hall of Mirrors and the Queen's Apartments. Along the way your expert guide brings the past alive with illuminating details of courtly life in the palace. While visiting Versailles you have free time to visit the formal gardens "a la Francaise".

Great trip. We left on time; guide was knowledgable. Very comfortable bus accomodations. Wonderful lunch; had done this 3 times prior; we were not disappointed. 2011-11-12 Janice L , We had a lovely day, and enjoyed this trip very much. Our bus driver did a fantastic job and we were supplied with 2 guides. 1 to assist the Spanish speaking people and one to assist the English speakers. Both were very accommadating and very informative. I would highly recomend this trip. 2011-11-12 Spud , Great trip. Guides were excellent. 2011-11-12 Bruce K , Canada Excellent from start to finish. We enjoyed every segment of the itinerary. 2011-11-08 Kathy , My husband and I origianlly took this trip with the idea of Versailles, however, the experience of visitomg Giverny was overwhelming and unique. In addition, the provided lunch at the mill is breathtaking. Please do not miss the Giverny visit... 2011-11-04 Ana , USA excellent tour guide. both destinations outstanding 2011-10-25 Louis P R , Great trip! A little short on time at Versailles but very satisfied with everything overall. Lunch at an old mill after Giverny was a highlight. 2011-10-24 MICHAEL M , The tour guide was very resourceful and wonderful and we had a great time. I highly recommend this tour and Viator. 2011-10-20 Lena , The trip was wonderful! The guide gave great explanations and information about both Giverny and Versailles but still gave us enough time to wander on our own exploring both areas. The lunch was superb and I couldn't have asked for a better way to see these sights. 2011-10-18 jos ,
