Pick-up from your hotel and start with the visit of the castle of Malmaison, bought by the couple Josephine & Napoleon to be their private home. Josephine designed it with a lot of style and also landscaped a rose garden and park. The castle is a real jewel where she lived until her death in 1814. Furniture, paintings, a great place to follow Napoleon & Josephine life. Drive to the island of Chatou nearby; lunch booked in a typical restaurant where the Impressionist painters would stay in their days in the second half of the century. Continue with the visit of the Museum Fournaise on the same spot.
