Paris Day 4 - Giverny and Treize Jardin

 Morning,  y'all! Still adjusting to the time change here.....I've been to Giverny (Monet's home) and back, and America is just getting to work. It's odd. So, the plan for today is Giverny in the morning and Treize Jardin (co-owned by a French woman and a woman from SC) for dinner this evening. I'm currently in the hotel room resting my feet. My body realized I did a lot more yesterday than I usually do! Twenty-nine floors...... 

Giverny was absolutely, wonderfully beautiful. Rather than tell you about it, I'm going to post about 20mil pictures. Well, not really, but I did take a LOT of pics. Absolutely stunning. If you're just interested in the gardens and the house, plan for about a 1/2 day trip. There are plenty of bus tours available. There's also a lovely village right next door, but I don't know if it's enough for a full day trip. 

My sneaky goal (and explanation) for dinner tonight....since the restaurant is a combination of American Southern and French food, they play off of that in their marketing. One of their employee t-shirts says "Rive Gauche, y'all." I. want. this. t-shirt. I just have to figure out how to convince them to sell me one....  :)  Update to come. 

NOTE: I'm also updating yesterday's blog, since I didn't have time to post much. More stories and pictures! 


Monet's home. The inside tour was probably the least impressive part (sorry, Monet). But the gardens....the gardens..... 



I mean, who wouldn't want to open their windows to THIS every morning? 




















These are just a few of the pictures I took. Absolutely beautiful!
