Shops at Giverny

Museum Shop and Shops at Giverny

Inside the Museum Shop

Words are inadequate to me to describe the wonders there to devour!  Just look for yourself and see how much there was to see and have available to purchase!


There were actually turkeys in the side yard of the house!

I have no discernment when it comes to pictures.  I am a visual person, so I take hundreds of pictures and don't know how to cull them.  They all tell a story, so to me, a picture is always worth a thousand words!

Please forgive my weakness!




Inside the shop














It was all so lovely that I could not stop taking pictures.  Everything was eye candy to me, so I hope you won't be bored with the numerous pictures I took.

Giverny

Giverny, Claude Monet's Home

 Giverny was my very favorite place of our whole trip to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam.  I have divided the pictures into separate segments to share with you.  These are the pictures of Monet's Lily Pond and his home.  It was all so breathtaking to me, although the day was rather overcast.  The pictures still turned out, so I'm happy to share them with you.  If you've not been there, then just imagine yourself walking through the paths around the pond and the garden!  It was delightful!!
