Day 2 Plessis-Robinson - at Leisure

Today's optional excursion takes us to the formal gardens of the Château de Versailles. This UNESCO-listed building was once a hunting lodge, a seat of government and a symbol of the power of the French monarchy. The huge honey-coloured palace was built in the 17th century during the reign of Louis XIV, and at the same time the magnificent gardens were created by landscape artist André le Nôtre. As we explore, we'll see three large parterres, more than 200 sculptures, groves nestled among the woods, fountains and a spectacular orangery. With its exceptional architecture and delicious gastronomic delights, Paris is a seductive city. Sit back and enjoy the sights as they are wonderfully illuminated on an optional excursion into the French capital this evening, with dinner included. Meals included: B
Next day

Day 3 Giverny

It is said that the history of France is written in her gardens, and this is reflected in the many different horticultural styles found across the country.
Particularly delightful are the gardens of the famous French Impressionist Claude Monet in Giverny. He planted and painted here from 1883 until his death in 1926, gaining inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounded him.
Explore the artist's flower garden, Clos Normand, as well as the Japanese-style water garden. These two areas are a beautiful contrast to one another, yet are equally wonderful to explore.
The most famous feature is the lily pond, from which Monet gained so much inspiration, and his series of water-lily paintings is revered throughout the world.
As you stroll through the enchanting gardens don't miss the exquisite wisteria-covered Japanese bridge - it too is depicted in many of Monet's greatest works of art.
In the evening, we will gather as a group to enjoy a farewell drink.

Gardens of Chateau de Versailles

Gardens of Chateau de Versailles

Dating from the 17th century, the Palace of Versailles was first a hunting lodge, then a seat of power, and finally, from the 19th century onwards, a museum. Today, the Estate of Versailles spreads over more than 800 hectares and includes the palace and gardens, the park, the estate of Trianon and several buildings in town.

Louise XIV considered the gardens to be just as important as the palace, and in 1661 he entrusted André Le Nôtre with their creation and renovation. Work on the gardens lasted for nearly 40 years and each project was reviewed in detail by the king. Today, the gardens have been fully re-planted and resemble the landscapes Louis XIV would have admired.
