After a tasty lunch, head to Versailles to explore the stunning Hall of Mirrors and splendid royal apartments. Marvel at the elaborate gardens and rich history of this majestic estate. This full-day excursion not only immerses you in art and history but also provides a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for travelers seeking a memorable experience.
Giverny and Monet’s Gardens
Begin your day in the picturesque village of Giverny, where Claude Monet settled in 1883 and transformed his home into a living masterpiece. Here you discover the Clos Normand flower garden, the tranquil water-lily pond and the graceful Japanese bridge that appear in many of his most iconic Impressionist works.
Discover the Palace of Versailles
In the afternoon, continue to the legendary Palace of Versailles, one of the world’s most celebrated royal residences. Built under Louis XIV, this grand estate became the 17th‑century political heart of France and a powerful symbol of absolute monarchy.
Explore the Royal Apartments
Inside the palace, wander through richly decorated royal rooms, including the King’s and Queen’s Apartments. These opulent spaces, filled with gilding, paintings and fine furnishings, offer a glimpse into the daily lives and rituals of the French court.
The Hall of Mirrors
A highlight of your visit is the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, a spectacular gallery lined with mirrors, chandeliers and ceiling paintings glorifying the Sun King. This iconic room has hosted major events in French and European history and perfectly embodies the splendour of Versailles.
Stroll the Versailles Gardens
Step outside into the vast formal gardens designed by André Le Nôtre, with geometric parterres, fountains, sculptures and grand avenues stretching over hundreds of hectares. The carefully orchestrated landscape provides a majestic outdoor counterpart to the palace interior.
A Complete Cultural Experience
Combining Monet’s intimate world at Giverny with the grandeur of Versailles, this full‑day excursion blends art, history and architecture in a single, unforgettable journey from Paris.

Tour was GREAT! Tour guide was excellent.she took a scenic route and we got more than expected on the drive to and from Giverny.
What can be said of Giverny - Monet at his home. You see the gardens, the lakes he painted, even the weeping willows are amazing to just look at and imagine him deciding what to paint. So many options for him.
Again, not enough can be said about the tour guide and her expertise. However, when we stopped for lunch (at a beautiful out of the way lodge type building in a quaint little town), she called in to see how the strike was going - it was still on and we'd have to cancel that portion of the trip. She said the office had authorized a refund, or we could return the next day to take that part of the tour.
My party of 4 had other plans for the next day, so we opted for the partial refund. When the tour was over, I knew I should have gone in to make sure about the refund, but the guide assured us it would automatically be taken care of.
Months later, no refunds. Also, when we called, they said they didn't discuss any tours with anyone but the travel agent. I contacted my travel agent, and she was told it was private information regarding the transactions (!?!)
Overall I'd have given the tour a 6 out of 5, but because we are currently out over $400 for a promised refund, I had to drop them to 4.
I assume the tour of Versailles would have been just as fantastic, and you can't do anything about the random strikes in France, but they could handle adjustments to the bill MUCH better.
