Impressionnist adventures

Welcome to Normandy, Paris and Île-de-France!

It is in these regions, and nowhere else, that you will be able both to gaze on marvellous impressionist paintings and experience the emotions that inspired their artists.

These regions witnessed the birth and the blossoming of this pictorial movement which revolutionised art history. The Impressionists were smitten by both nature and modernity, setting up their easels in forests and gardens, along the Seine and the Oise, on the coasts of Normandy, or in the heart of vibrantly modern neighbourhoods in the French capital...

These mostly still intact landscapes remain marked by these artists, their precursors and their heirs: Daubigny, Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Caillebotte, Sisley, Van Gogh, Luce… Today, thanks to a series of impressionist excursions, these regions are allowing you to experience genuine moments of joy.

Gaze at the variations of the sky and light in front of the sea in Normandy,

Unwind in the freshness of a garden,

Relive in Paris and Montmartre the artistic sparkle and authenticity of a bohemian culture,

Take the time out to share these moments or to let yourself go with the joy of life: a family picnic, or a drink with friends in a guinguette on the Seine,

Feel moved by the beauty of the works that fill up its museums,

Enter into the intimacy of the painters in their gardens or homes-cum-studios,

Impressionist excursions will provide you with countless instants of joy.
