Paris Off The Beaten Path Tips by Maline

The home of artist Claude Monet Claude Monet's Garden in Giverny Review

The home of artist Claude Monet, Giverny. Take the train to station Vernon from Gare St.Lazare. It's some 75 kilometres from Paris.

Claude Monet, one of the most famous impressionists (think water lilies) lived in the village of Giverny, near Vernon in the last 40 years of his life.
His house and garden have been preserved and restaured and are open to the public. You can see among other things his famous japanese bridges. And you can see from where his flower paingints inspiration comes when you walk this garden!

For works by Claude Monet don't miss the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where there are lots of impressionist paintings.

If you have nothing else to do... Shakespeare & Company Review

If you have nothing else to do one night, visit the night-open bookstore of Shakespeare&co on the left bank opposite the Notre Dame. I think it closes at midnight or so. The prices arent that good, but you can find a lot of great stuff and the atmosphere is great too!
