Return to Paris, my city. Paris-My-City.com Home
On the morning of July 13 at 7:30, we gathered and took Metro Line 14 to Saint Lazare, then boarded a train to visit Monet’s Garden in Giverny. We got off at Vernon station, first visiting this authentic Norman village to shop at its traditional market (preparing for the afternoon picnic), and seeing the town hall and cathedral. Crossing the Seine on foot along the hillside path by the river, we enjoyed the natural scenery, which helps one understand how Impressionist landscape paintings were created. After entering the village church, where Monet rests, remember to go straight ahead to reach Monet’s Garden; you can first visit his home: studio, living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc., to understand his living environment. The lush garden is divided into the front courtyard garden, colorful and flourishing with flowers and trees, and then crossing through an underpass to the water lily pond where light and shadows dance. The Japanese bridge spans the pond, with flowers floating on the shimmering water, revealing profound space. At this moment, people will discover that Monet’s paintings are right before their eyes. The painter himself said, “My most perfect masterpiece is my garden.” Only by experiencing it firsthand do people suddenly realize, don’t they, friends! Of course, Giverny also has the American Museum, whose front is also colorful, dazzling to the eye. Whose palette forgot to take back? Truly an Impressionist journey.
