    Day spent in the most beautiful villages 1 hour outside of Paris! Itinerary in description💕#travel



    ✨ Read below for more details and itenerary !

    This is part of my series on the quieter corners of Ile-de-France-or just beyond. These places are full of charm, history, and everyday beauty, all within an hour of Paris. Easy to reach, often overlooked-and absolutely worth your time!

    Save this for your next Paris trip-or if you’re
    dreaming of one☺️

    Also, my outfit is linked in my Linktree in bio!
    Visiting-while being respectful of locals, the environment, and small businesses-helps support these towns and gives Paris a little space to breathe.

    One of the best things I find about living in Paris is that when city life gets a bit too hectic, you can easily explore so many beautiful towns that are just an hour (or less). Vernon and Givenry are perfect for a day trip or weekend escape.

    France is so much more than Paris. These towns deserve more love-and through these videos, I hope to inspire more people to explore them (even on a budget!).

    We took the train from Gare Saint-Lazare to Vernon (which is a 50 min ride and depending when you get your tickets, is about 20€ per person), wandered the town, and picked up picnic supplies as there’s a lovely spot just across the bridge!

    From Vernonnet, we caught bus line 10 (€2 pp, cash accepted) to Giverny, a lovely quaint village that has several restaurants and shops and most famously the Home & Garden of Monet😍The tickets were about 10€ per person. Unfortunately they do not let dogs inside, so Lev and I took turns while watching Lola, but the village is dog friendly so we took her to restaurants and cafes and had no problem!

    Tip: The gardens are at their best in spring through early autumn, but each season has its own charm. Early mornings and late afternoons are the quietest-perfect for soaking it all in without the crowds.
    And I highly recommend to buy tickets to Monet’s house online in advance-worth it to skip the lines, especially in summer!
    Before we went back, we hiked up the hill in Giverny to see the sun setting, which we highly recommend for a spectacular view!

    If you’re planning a trip, save this post for later! And let me know if you have any questions-happy to share more tips for visiting ☺️
