The day after - Giverny

The Israeli couple whom we met at the dinner at Hidden Kitchen told us about Claude Monet's house in Giverny and that's how we ended up there the next day! 1 hour drive from Paris. Easy peasy. Now that it's autumn here, the colors of the leaves were beautiful. However, the season also means that flowers were dying & drying up. A pity really. Will definitely return in spring when they are in bloom!

The visit to his house & garden (of which many of his later paintings were based on) was more significant to us because we went to the exhibition just 2 days ago. We were also really lucky to have caught the last opening day (since it opens from 1st April - 1st November). Overall, love that we could see his exact perspective..
