A day trip along the golden route of royalty and art – experience the romantic soul of France.

🌸【Honeymore Town】: An Impressionist Canvas

Moret-sur-Loing was an important royal town in the Middle Ages, hosting many important figures in French history, such as Francis I and Napoleon Bonaparte. Today, two 12th-century city gates still stand, witnessing the passage of time. The town also boasts many historical buildings, such as the Notre-Dame Cathedral and buildings in the style of Francis I. Since the 17th century, barley sugar made by the nuns of Moret has been a local specialty, and the town even has a museum dedicated to its production.

🌸【Fontainebleau Palace】: A microcosm of French history

For over seven centuries, this palace has been a repository of imperial dreams, from Francis I to Napoleon, with every carved window etched with dynastic secrets. Renaissance galleries and opulent halls intertwine to form an art sanctuary, not only witnessing Napoleon's abdication but also a living epic of the evolution of European art. Stepping into the forest-embraced palace is like entering a richly detailed historical painting.

🌸 【Monet's House and Garden: The Final Chapter of His Artistic Life】

Monet's Garden, the former residence of Impressionist painter Claude Monet, is located in Giverny, a town 70 kilometers west of Paris, France. The garden is divided into two parts: the Water Garden and the Normandy Garden. The Normandy Garden is rectangular, covering approximately one hectare, with flowers intertwined freely. The Water Garden is an artificial lake filled with water lilies, and the Japanese Bridge is its iconic structure. Monet completed his "Water Lilies" series here, and the garden has become a model of the perfect fusion of Impressionist art and natural horticulture.

🌸 Barbizon Artists' Village: The Cradle of Realist Landscape Painting

Barbizon, the village of artists, is nestled on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest south of Paris and is the birthplace of the 19th-century Barbizon School of painting. Dissatisfied with the rigid styles of academic art, these painters pioneered a unique and vibrant style of realist landscape painting. Today, Barbizon retains its 19th-century charm, with many houses still displaying plaques commemorating the artists' former residences. The Barbizon Museum houses original works and manuscripts by members of the school, and the forest still retains the "painter's paths" where artists frequently sketched. Strolling along these paths, one can almost glimpse the figures of those artists diligently creating their art a century ago.

Summer Itinerary: Fontainebleau Palace + Monet Gardens + Giverny Day Trip (April 1st to November 1st) Winter Itinerary: Fontainebleau Palace + Barbizon + Moret Town Day Trip (November 2nd to March 31st of the following year)
