レザンドリの天然記念物・トップ7

Avoid weekends during peak season if you want to visit...

This Harten, which is the size of a small park, is a total work of art. I am not judging it from a botanical perspective, but as someone who paints under the influence of impressionism. Incidentally, his Japanese bridge can be admired as a painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, (“Met”), in New York. I have already looked at several important museums in the world (the Museum of Modern Art in NYC was disappointing), and can therefore say that the Met is a museum of superlatives, without going into too much detail. Monet is represented here with around 15 works.

In 1893, ten years after his arrival in Giverny, Monet bought the plot of land adjacent to his property, on the other side of the railway and road. It was crossed by a small stream, the Ru, a branch of the Epte. With the support of the prefecture, Monet had the first small pond dug, despite opposition from his peasant neighbors, who feared that his strange plants would poison the water. Later, the pond was enlarged to its current size. The water garden is asymmetrical and curved. Monet was inspired by Japanese gardens, which he knew from prints. The painter was a passionate collector of Japanese woodcuts.

A wonderful garden that, due to its size, could actually be described as a park. Due to the crowds, it is advisable to get tickets online.

Definitely worth seeing!!! - Due to the high demand, it is worth booking tickets online to avoid having to wait in an endless line.

Good journey

The Bord-Louviers forest is a majestic forest located at the confluence of the Eure and the Seine. This forest, former property of the Dukes of Normandy and the Kings of France, covers an area of 4,568 hectares and offers a variety of landscapes and ecosystems. You can discover the pine forest on the northern terraces overlooking the Seine, the beech forest in the central plain, or even the oaks on the southern plateaus. You will also be able to admire the seven remarkable trees listed, such as the Tabouel beech, a 39 meter high beech, or the Pancarte oak, an oak which has swallowed a sign on its trunk. The forest is also home to a rich fauna: deer, wild boars, foxes and squirrels.

A highlight not to be missed. Whether you like Monet or not, his gardens are beautiful! It is a tourist attraction, so it is a good idea to be there at the beginning of the day. In high season it is very busy.
