Overview
Step into the world of Gothic architecture and painterly light on this day trip from Paris, where medieval meets Impressionism. Your driver will first take you to Rouen, the Norman capital, where the cathedral stands as a major example of Gothic design. With its cast‑iron spire reaching 151 m, detailed portal carvings, and the “Butter Tower,” it reflects centuries of construction, destruction, and restoration—highlighting its impact on Monet and role in regional identity. You'll also see the Gros-Horloge, a 14th‑century astronomical clock under a Renaissance arch, marking Rouen’s civic legacy. Next, travel into the Normandy countryside to Giverny, where Claude Monet shaped his home and gardens as a living canvas. At his house, walk through flowerbeds, cross the Japanese bridge, and stand by the water-lily pond that helped define Impressionism. From cathedral stone to Monet’s light, this trip follows a path from monument to personal vision. Return to Paris with your private driver.
