Unusual guided tour of Giverny: between American colony and 19th century peasant life
Join Louise, the roommate of one of Giverny’s estaminets who will tell you the story of this peaceful village experiencing a turmoil in its rural routine. In fact, at the end of the 19th century the father of Impressionism Claude Monet arrived in the village and its inhabitants did not see this with a very good eye.
Your guide will plunge you, thanks to his period costume and his anecdotes, into the new hustle and bustle of the village with the harsh peasant life. She will not forget the crisp gossip of the estaminet where she saw great names such as Cézanne, Degas, Mary Cassatt and many others.
The walk will start in front of the Café des Nymphéas in Giverny and continue in the village around the Impressionist Museum, the Town Hall-school, the Baudy Hotel, the cemetery and the church.
