City walk
Admission to the Fondation Monet
Visit the gardens and the house
Free stroll through the village
We meet in the morning at Porte Maillot, then head for Vernon, a superb village on the banks of the Seine, still little-known but full of assets. We start with the old hanging mill, emblematic of the area, before discovering the Château de Bizy, often compared to a little Versailles. Then it's on to the old streets, with their half-timbered houses, typical of the region. It's an ideal place to soak up the Norman atmosphere.
Then it's on to Giverny, Claude Monet's village. Here you can visit his perfectly preserved house, and above all his immense gardens, divided into two sections: the water garden with its famous Japanese bridge and water lilies, and the Clos Normand, a veritable explosion of flowers covering several hectares. The place is as impressive for its size as for its botanical wealth.
A late afternoon in Giverny is the ideal time to visit the Giverny cemetery, with the graves of Monet and other famous World War II veterans. You can also visit the Musée des Impressionismes.
Back to Paris in the early evening, with plenty of discoveries in mind.

Our charters
At Erasmus Place, the journey begins as soon as you get on the bus. It's a friendly atmosphere, where people get to know each other, have a laugh and share music and tips.
Our buses are comfortable, air-conditioned and equipped with toilets, barring major exceptions. We want you to feel at ease, even during several hours of driving. To make sure everything goes smoothly, we also have a few simple rules: respect for everyone, no inappropriate behavior, no consumption of alcohol or banned substances on the bus.
For each trip, we select quality establishments, always with a minimum 2-star rating for hotels. Whether it's a hotel or a hostel, you can count on comfortable, clean and conveniently located accommodation.
Our hotels and hostels are always located in the city center, close to places of interest and local entertainment, so you can make the most of your stay without wasting time in transport. With a few exceptions.
Rooms are shared among friends, in a relaxed atmosphere, but we respect a simple rule: men stay with men, women with women. Rooms are divided into groups of 2, 3 or 4 people, depending on the configuration of the site. If you're traveling as a couple, it's possible to have a room for two, but only by prior arrangement.
We want you to feel comfortable, surrounded and safe throughout your stay.
Each Erasmus Place trip is supervised by one or more trained Tour Leaders, who are friendly and always available. Their role is to ensure that your stay is well organized, that the group is safe and that a friendly atmosphere prevails from departure to return. They welcome you, inform you, lead the trips, coordinate the different stages of the program and listen to you throughout the trip.
Our Tour Leaders are fluent in between two and five languages, including English, making it easy to communicate with all participants, whatever their nationality. They are not certified guides like those you find in museums, but they know perfectly well the destinations they visit, the instructions for the trip, and the good tips to share. They're there to accompany you, reassure you, answer your questions, deal with the unexpected and make sure you get the most out of your Erasmus experience.
Their aim is simple: to make sure you return home with your head full of memories... and the desire to go back (alone or with us!).
