Duration: 120 mins
2. Giverny
Giverny is a delightful, typical Norman Seine-side village. It lies on the right, or north, bank of Normandy’s mightiest river, close to the town of Vernon. Were it not for the arrival of Impressionist master Claude Monet in 1883, the village might have remained a quiet provincial backwater. The long years Monet spent here would turn it into a place of artistic pilgrimage, even in his lifetime.
Duration: 60 mins
3. Palace of Versailles
The Palace of Versailles, or “Château de Versailles,” is one of France’s most iconic landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally built as a hunting lodge for Louis XIII, it was transformed by Louis XIV into the royal residence of the French court in 1682. Discover the palace’s grand architecture, royal apartments, and the famous Hall of Mirrors, renowned for its 357 mirrors, gilded decorations, and reflections of the gardens. Explore the King and Queen’s Apartments, once used for official ceremonies and court life, richly decorated with marble and painted ceilings. Designed by André Le Nôtre in 1661, the Gardens of Versailles feature elegant pathways, fountains, ponds, and sculptures, making them a masterpiece of French formal garden design. During summer, visitors can also enjoy the Musical Gardens and Fountain Shows.
Duration: 120 mins
4. Jardins du Chateau de Versailles
Our expert tour guide will enable you to see the best part of the Gardens. In 1661, Louis XIV charged André Le Nôtre to create the gardens of Versailles. The creation of gardens requires a gigantic work about forty years: leveling spaces, landscaping garden beds, creation of ponds and the Canal. Louis XIV considered gardens as important as the castle. André Le Nôtre created an ultimate French Style garden: a terrace with a global view of the gardens, a geometric organization of the axes, ponds, flowerbeds, groves. The garden is designed like a building, a walk playing on the perspectives. Charles Le Brun drew a large number of statues and fountains. The 221 sculptures make Versailles as the world's largest open-air museum of sculptures. Fountains and groves adorn the gardens. The groves regularly hosted the King's walk and the entertainment of the court. Appreciate a stroll trough the Le Nôtre's gardens. Each summer, Versailles offers superb entertainment in the gardens to give visitors the experience of the magnificence of the celebrations in the garden at the time of Louis XIV. Your guide will offer you a visit to the musical gardens (Tuesday from June to October) and the musical fountains show (Saturdays and Sundays from April to October).
