Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris

After picking you up at the doorstep of your downtown hotel in Paris, our guide will take you for a wonderful day outside of Paris.This day will lead you first to the edge of Normandy, where you will visit Claude Monet's home, the "Father of Impressionism". There you will discover the famous gardens created by the impressionist painter, and the well known Japanese bridge in the midst of its flowered paths and wather-lily ponds.

"Claude Monet's property at Giverny, left by his son to the Académie des Beaux-arts in 1966, has, after completion of large scale restoration work, become the Claude Monet Foundation, inaugurated in 1980. The house, with its pink crushed brick façade, where the leader of the Impressionist School lived from 1883 to 1926, once again has its colourful décor and intimate charin of former times. The precious collection of Japanese engravings is displayed in several rooms, hung in the marmer chosen by the master of Giverny himself.

The huge Nymphéas studio, a stone's throw from the house, has also been restored. It contains the Foundation's Shop. The gardens have been replanted as they once were and offer for the admiration of visitors the "painting from nature" which Claude Monet's contemporaries considered one of his masterpieces. The rectangular Clos Normand, with archways of climbing plants entwined around brilliantly coloured shrubs, lies before the house and studios, offering from Spring to Autumn the palette of varying colours to the painter-gardner who was "ecstatic about flowers". Lastly, the Water Garden, formed by a tributary of the Epte, lies further away, shaded by weeping willows. With its famous Japanese Bridge, its wistarias, azaleas and its pond, it has once more become that casket of sky and water which inspired the pictorial universe of the water lilies."

You will have lunch at the lovely "Moulin de Fourges" restaurant, a 200-year-old mill. The architecture of this listed site, dating back to the 18th century, draws its inspiration from the hamlet of Marie-Antoinette at Versailles. It offers a unique setting with its rural grounds and its spacious terrace on the banks of the Epte.

In the afternoon, you will be driven to Versailles Palace, residence of the Sun King, Louis XIV. There, you will visit on your own Louis XIV's suite, the Hall of Mirrors... An audio guide (included) is available in eight languages (French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Chinese-Mandarin). You will also have some remaining time to discover the famous "A la Francaise" gardens.

Superyacht ‘Project Thunder’ Launched By Lurssen 102m/333ft

Still shrouded in plenty of secrecy, the eye-catching 120m+ motor yacht 'Project Thunder' was launched this weekend at the Lurssen shipyard in Bremen.Whilst there are few official details confirmed, there was a series of images published over the weekend which appear to show Project Thunder hitting the water for the very first time.  following  24 months after her keel was laid back in 2015.

Designed by the legendary Espen Oeino, Lurssen have hinted that her interior is traditional and she will be cruising mostly in Asian waters following her delivery. This leads us to believe it may be built for a local owner.

With her project name derived from Leigong, a mythical God in Asian mythology, such attractive cruising grounds have been playfully hinted at by the shipyard.

Complete with a head-turning black finish, five decks, and a superbly styled superstructure, there’s no doubt that the German shipyard are in the midst of building another classic.

Though she isn’t expected to be delivered until sometime in 2018, there is still plenty to get excited about after taking a look at these early photographs.

Nicely reminiscent of the 102m/333ft luxury yacht SYMPHONY, the sleek curves at the stern of Project Thunder call to mind the styling of the iconic Feadship superyacht.

Indeed, just like SYMPHONY, there is a gentle sweep which extends to the swim platform on the aft, a section which seems to be sizeable enough for a beach club.

Setting her apart from other large superyachts, however, are the the masculine lines and strong angles which lend Project Thunder a totally unique profile.

What’s more, with a cutaway section hinting towards a possible atrium amidships at the starboard side, there’s plenty to be speculating about when it comes to her interior layout.

The largest Lurssen superyacht to be launched so far this year, Project Thunder is certain to inspire a wealth of intrigue
Following her delivery, it has been speculated that the superyacht will enter the top 20 largest superyachts ever built. Interestingly, our records indicate that Espen Oeino has designed the exterior of 11 of the top 100 superyachts, beaten only by Tim Heywood who has designed 12 of them.

Lurssen have also revealed that Project Thunder will undergo sea trials following the installation of her interior in the coming months.

As more details emerge regarding this new build, YachtCharterFleet.com will be sure to keep readers fully informed.

Whilst awaiting further information regarding M/Y Project Thunder, be sure to take a look at all of the Lurssen superyachts which are available for private yacht charter vacations.
