Thanks Jim, they came out pretty well for a rainy day. Just caught the very tail end of the season before they closed. Glad you liked them.

No trip to France and the Paris region is complete without a trip to Monet's Home at Giverny and in particular the Lily Pond which was the inspiration for his magnificent Nympheas paintings now housed in the Musee De L' Orangerie in Paris. Although Fall is not the ideal time to visit, in fact the attraction closes for 5 months at the end of October, the fall colors are indeed spectacular. Here are some views of the Lily Pond on a chilly, damp day just a couple of days before the scheduled closing.

Excellent series, brought back good memories. Spent a week there several years ago at a timeshare just above the Dylan Thomas Boathouse. There was a small Fish and Chips restaurant just down near the beach that was terrific.

Visited there several years ago on an OAT small group tour. You will love it, plenty of unique photo ops and just a beautiful country and lovely people.

Excellent set marsdad, 3 and 4 very powerful
Thank you Cmbtvet for viewing and commenting. Looking at the beaches and the terrain they had to take you wonder how they ever did it. Looks formidable if not impossible.
