Things to do in Giverny

Finally, I arrived at the private garden of Monet, the Impressionist master of Giverny. It was so beautiful, it felt like stepping into one of his paintings 🪷. The familiar water lilies, and the Japanese Bridge I had previously copied, were right before my eyes. I couldn't help but sigh, unable to distinguish between reality and the dreamscape in Monet's paintings~

The Palace of Versailles was an incredible experience and definitely a highlight of my trip to France. The palace itself is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning architecture, beautiful rooms, and so much history around every corner.The ticketing process was simple, and the ticket was easy to use for entry into all the main areas of the palace. We were able to explore comfortably without any problems.The only downside was that some parts of the gardens were under construction during our visit, so we couldn’t fully experience the gardens at their best. However, this did not take away from the overall experience. Versailles is still a must-see destination and a place I would highly recommend visiting.

It was a great summit experience, and the accompanying Seine River cruise was also excellent. Our guide was Korean and spoke both English and French, so I had no problem communicating with her in French. There was also a very friendly elderly Australian couple in our group; they even gave me a small souvenir before I left.

Worth taking the ride specially during the evening when Eiffel is about to light up. Glad to see Eiffel Tower lighting and sparkling too. Got the scenic view of Notre-Dame Cathedral, Louvre Museum and Musée d'Orsay also.

a must see in paris. even if not serious art lovers, you will feel the joy of arts. lucky to see the mary cassett exhibition too.

The food was mediocre and not worth the price, but the scenery was nice; we saw the entire Seine River in two hours. The service was poor; the set meal included a bottle of wine, and after I finished the first glass the waiter poured for me, it took 20 minutes for them to refill it.

The Louvre Museum is a bucket list item for me. The exhibits were mesmerising and I made it a point to visit every single gallery. There was also a special exhibition on Mesopotamia which featured rare artifacts from Susa and various periods of the Mesopotamian city states. A must see! The visit on October 17, 2026 coincided with the peak of the student protests. Not once was I harrassed or felt unsafe. Kudos to the kindness of the French people. J'adore!
