Technically this isn’t Paris.

If you’re ever in Paris and you only get to make one day trip, the obvious one is Versailles, but I think Giverney is even better.  It’s Monet’s house and garden, and look at this:

The house is gorgeous too, and I always love museums where you see the art in some sort of context, which the house does beautifully.  Don’t get me wrong, Versailles is outstanding, but there are places in Paris of a similar vintage and lavishness.  I’ve never been anywhere quite like Giverney.  What can I say?  I like to be in Giverney in an Impressionist’s garden in the shade.  (Sorry.)
