Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883 and created a garden full of perspectives, symmetries and colors. In the front of the house, a flower garden called Clos Normand features lush flowerbeds, majestic trees, climbing roses and colored banks of annuals. The property also features a Japanese inspired water garden, which includes the famous Japanese bridge covered with wisterias, weeping willows, bamboo wood and the famous water lilies.

The Louvre Museum

Musée du Louvre, commonly referred to as The Louvre, is one of the oldest, largest, and most famous art museums in the world. Located in the center of Paris, the building was originally built as a fortress in 1190 by King Phillipe-Auguste. This vast royal residence assumed its present form in the 18th century. Over the years, donations and purchases have enabled the museum to greatly expand its original royal collections.

BEACHES

As two of the primary landing points on June 6th, 1944 during Operation Neptune, more commonly known as the assault on Normandy, these beaches played a critical role in the American assault on German defenses, marking the beginning of the end of the Nazi empire.
