We started the tour in Giverny by walking through Monet's gardens. We were able to see the various inspiration for his work, such as the water lilies. These photos don't do this garden justice.
After exploring Monet's garden, we took a tour of his house. Honestly, it was an incredible experience that’s hard to put into words. My favorite part was definitely his kitchen, where art wasn’t just confined to canvases, but was also an integral part of the home’s decor.
During the tour, we visited Monet's grave site, which is situated behind the church just a 10 minute walk from his home. The large family tomb is adorned with flowers, reflecting his passion for gardening. Monet is laid to rest alongside his second wife, as well as his two sons, Jean and Michel, and their wives.

I found these prints for just 5 euros! The gift shop offered a wide variety of souvenir options. Although I couldn't find a pin, Mikaela discovered some great gifts for her family. It's truly a shopping paradise for tourists!
