Monet's Gardens Bike Tour

An excellent excursion outside of Paris is to Claude Monet's breathtaking gardens in Normandy. His unique house, the quaint villages of Vernon and Giverny and our fabulous bicycle ride along the Seine are a welcome change from the hustle-bustle of Paris. Allow us to make the out-of-town trip an easy and enjoyable one for you.

We'll go by rail through the beautiful wheat & sunflower fields of Normandy to the village of Vernon. There we’ll collect our bikes, head to the market for picnic supplies and then to lunch along the river in a beautiful park. Finally we’ll pedal down our private path to Monet’s gardens where we’ll spend the afternoon inside the most gorgeous landscape in Normandy.
