A city tour takes you to Gothic Notre Dame de Mantes, followed by a visit to a local bee farm. Alternatively, visit Chateau d'Anet, built by King Henri II for his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, in the 16th century.

In the afternoon, you may choose a bike tour, or join a tasting tour to try the region's famous apple-based calvados, cider and cheese. (B/L/D)

Discover the splendour of Claude Monet's magnificent gardens at his former home in Giverny, admiring the water lilies, Japanese bridges and willow trees immortalised in his paintings.
