When planning a trip to France, there is a standard list of destinations: the Eiffel Tower, a ride on the Seine, the Louvre (and hopefully the Orsay), and the Arc De Triomphe. But when you are making arrangements for your next vacation to this European gem, be sure to include an excursion to Monet's home in Giverny.
Even if you're not a huge fan of Impressionism or art in general, seeing Monet's gardens and the gorgeous Normandy countryside is well worth the trip. For fans of the master, it is an unspeakable joy to see the inspiration of numerous masterpieces such as the Water Lilies series and "The Japanese Footbridge".
A highlight of this beautiful location is the fences that Monet planted. They are composed of living fruit trees, interwoven to form a unique, fragrant work of art.
