Visit of " Scenes of Impressionist Life" - Musée des Beaux Arts in Rouen
The museum will explore the intimate facet of portraiture, taking as its foundation the first painting by Monet exhibited in Rouen, in 1872, Meditation (Madame Monet on the Sofa). Showing about 100 paintings (Manet, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Degas, Caillebotte, Fantin-Latour, Morisot, Cassat, and many more) but also sculptures, photographs and personal letters, the exhibition will lift the veil on the personal worlds of the great masters and the representation they gave of them. Beyond a narration of the personal lives of these outstanding artists, the exhibition of these masterworks will shed light on the major developments in French society during the nineteenth century in terms of the status of women and children and the role of the artist.

Your guide will advise you on places to have delicious lunch before discovering Giverny.

Visit "Gustave Caillebotte, Painter and Gardener" Musée des Impressionnismes in Giverny
Caillebotte, long considered a wealthy amateur painter, collector and the patron of his Impressionist friends, is today thought of as one of the group’s major figures. A large part of his work was dedicated to gardens. Some 100 paintings, drawings and sculptures will demonstrate this aspect of his art, from the Paris of Baron Haussmann to Yerres, from the Seine to Le Petit Gennevilliers and his garden, and his relationship with Monet.

After the visit, transfer by minibus to Paris.
