Salut!
France is getting colder and more wintery as the days go by, but fortunately I had the chance to go to Giverny right before the chill set in. Giverny, among other things, is the resting place of Claude Monet and the town in which he built a gorgeous home and designed a garden exactly to his liking. The flowers were right at the end of their season but still looked gorgeous and the house would be quaint no matter the weather.

| The home of Claude Monet (plus tourists). Located about an hour from Paris, Monet used to hold many parties and weekend getaways for important Parisians of his day. |
Monet's gardens provided the inspiration for many of his paintings. You might recognize a very famous lily pond and bridge below.

It was a wonderful visit and a wonderful day!
