Jardin de Monet a Giverny
Paris: Day 4
This was one of my favorite days! We drove out to the Village of Giverny. Claude Monet moved out there, built a home and landscaped gardens so he could have something to paint. The grounds were beautiful! There was two different gardens, the water gardens, (my favorite) and then the more traditional gardens.

Doesn't this look just like a painting?
Me and my Tata. I miss you already!

I would like to have this as my backyard.
I loved this flower. I need to ask my dad what it is and if it will grow here.
We were also able to go into his house. I felt right at home, all the walls were painted in bright colors. (You would have to see my parents house to understand, it must be an artist thing)
Inside the house. (Pictures were forbidden)
I could live in this house
Once we got back into the city we decided to go for a bike ride. Paris has a wonderful bike rental system. Take a bike from one station and leave it at another. The first 30 minutes is free, the next 30 minutes is only one Euro. Throughout the week we rode these bikes ALL OVER the city.
We went up the Arc De Triumph. It is amazing that this was built so long ago.

Then went shopping (remember how I said this was one of my favorite days?) and had dinner on the Champs Elysees before calling it a day.
I wouldn’t mind reliving this day!
