“We had a lovely time at Monet’s Garden and lunch was lovely. Unfortunately the heavy rain meant we did not see much of the Versaille gardens. Those who ventured out were soaked. Umbrellas were not any help. It would have been better to do the garden first as it was not yet raining then but that was not possible. Lots of people ! We still had a great day and our lovely guide was very knowledgeable and kept us on time.”
