Paris Day 3-Saturday 8/28/04

This is the day we toured both Giverny and Versailles. This is our tour of Giverny first, Versailles to follow, as there's not enough room for both.

Monet's flower garden. Glenn in the flower garden. The water garden. Monet's waterlilies. No wonder he felt so inspired. Fuschia More Fuschia. Glenn and I on the Japanese bridge. The water gardens. More and more and yet more Monet's "pink house with the green shutters." A beautiful path in the garden. Some topiary fencing. More topiary fencing. the view from the house. The house up close. More beauty. A small cottage in the village of Giverny A street in Giverny. A courtyard, you guessed it, in Giverny. The Hotel Baudy (on the left) and the former Hotel Baudy (on the right). Where the artists set up their studio... ... to paint out behind the former Hotel Baudy. Gardens behind the former Hotel Baudy. Our luncheon restuarant, breath-taking. Glenn by the water wheel after lunch. Beautiful setting. Delicious food A couple was taking wedding pics there earlier. Normandy roadside. Carved out chalk caves. Chalk cave made into garden area. Chalk cave made into a home. Other beautiful homes. Ancient open air market. Cool shrubbery Thatched roof. White cliffs of Dover extend to France. Monet's house before Giverny.
