The Chickens of Giverny

The first time I went to France I stayed in Paris proper. My second visit, I ventured out to Normandy and Giverny. Giverny is famous for being where Impressionist artist Claude Monet made his home from 1883-1926. He is responsible for the gardens there, including its famous water garden.

                       The famous Bridge at Giverny.


My daughter Charlotte and I, thoroughly enjoyed our visit and were excited to see chickens there.

Really pretty chickens…

of all breeds…
with gorgeous plumage…
like this Regal Roo…
Who came to get a closer look at the American taking a closer look at him…

We enjoyed touring the house and gardens and of course, meeting some French chickens, who just happen to live at one of the most famous gardens in the world. Do you look for chickens when you are away from home?

 

I link up posts to the following weekly parties.

    Weather wise mid to late spring or early fall. I like to go off season as it is less crowded (usually cheaper) and since I live where it is hot I don't mind it being chilly so I tend to go in later fall, Oct/Nov time. But I've been there in three different seasons so far and all were beautiful! Summer is most crowded, so I tend to avoid summer in Europe.
