The grand finale of our tour was a visit to Monet’s Home and Gardens in Giverny. The weather was overcast and cool but dry. I was surprised to see so many flowers in bloom this late in the season (October).
Our guide gave an amusing narration of Monet’s private life and romantic entanglements. Monet’s collection of impressionist artists’ paintings are on display throughout the home.
We also visited the nearby Impressionist Museum.
The rest of the day was spent back at the ship where we had a presentation on the life of French fashion designer Coco Chanel, followed in the evening by our farewell reception and dinner.
