After dreaming about where Monet painted for many years we finally got to see it with our own eyes! The gardens look just like the pictures that are so famous! Beautiful, peaceful, and colorful!
We stopped at a challet in the country for lunch. It was such a charming setting with a working water mill. We had salad, salmon pate, duck and whipped potatoes, for desert apple torte. We moved on to Versailles to see the famous palace. It is so huge!! The bedroon where Marie Antoinette slept with the original fabric bed cover was amazing. Such a shame she lost her head!
What a fabulous experience you all are having! I imagine it was wonderful to be able to see in person the exact scene Monet was looking at or was inspired by. Wow!
