France Impressions is a blog about my travels throughout France. Travel is about embarking on journeys, discovering new places, its people, learning from others and in particular, learning about oneself. I believe travel is an art and I like to craft trips and tours around your personality, interests, desires and dreams. I undertake to open for you 'doors that are normally closed" thereby ensuring you gain access to exclusive experiences while introducing you to extraordinary personalities.

Monet's "The Nympheas" Rediscovered After Decades
In 2 rooms at the Musee de l’Orangerie is the new restored fabulous paintings of Claude Monet, the light here is soft and white, the emptiness is absolute, and the eyes encounter no obstacle. The visitor is as though caught up in this landscape; he turns, he turns round again, he looses himself and is finally drowned among these paintings with such evocative names as “morning”, “clouds” and “green reflections”.
