Additional Information

Are you a fan of nature and Impressionist art? If so, keep reading! We are offering a half-day excursion to the village of Giverny, a place that was adored by Monet and his fellow Impressionists during the 19th Century. Following a brief trip of one-and-a-half hours from Paris, you’ll arrive at this charming village in Normandy. Together, we’ll visit Monet’s beautiful home and fascinating gardens. Accompanied by an art historian guide, you’ll tour the flower gardens that inspired Monet, walk along the famous water lily pond depicted in the ‘Water Lilies’ series, and cross the well-known Japanese bridge featured repeatedly in his paintings. Lastly, we’ll take you inside Monet’s home which has beautifully withstood the test of time.

  • Excellent souvenir shop with a wide range of reproductions of Monet’s paintings, crockery, table sets (dominant in Monet’s favourite blue and yellow colours) and even a range of flower seeds.
  • The collection of Japanese engravings inside Monet’s home is one of the most important in the world.
  • Please note that during the Olympic Games, from July 19th to September 8th 2024, your tour will depart from 26 boulevard Auguste Blanqui 75013 PARIS

Beautiful afternoon at Monet's garden. - Eve, our guide, was exceptional. Informative, enlightening and very funny. The gardens are spectacular, the house less so it still of interest. Gran an apple pie at the local restaurant at the end of the tour, you won't regret it.

I'd do it again but never in June, July, August - We were there the very last day. We got to watch the gardeners taking the waterlily pots out of the pond for the winter. Since it was "off-season" the tour was not "packed" but there were a number of visitors. The bus tour was a pleasant way to get out to the village and the village was a pleasant walk. I would avoid this place like the plague in the high season. The house was interesting and a nice compliment to the museums focused on Impressionists. And even though it was late fall the gardens were still beautiful.

Beautiful, interesting, but not enough time - We loved our outing to the Monet gardens and house! In October there were not crowds of people to contend with. The gardens were beautiful and colorful, even in the fall season. We would like to come back again in spring and summer. The guide provided an interesting overview of Monet's life while we were traveling on the bus as well as while in the gardens. Going with this company took all the stress out of planning a trip to Giverny from Paris. But we were disappointed in not having enough time to really drink it all in. After listening to the guide, we had to rush through the house and gardens and did not have enough time to go back to the lily pads and bridge. If we visit Giverny again, we'll arrange our own transportation and spend the day. As for the interesting stories told by the guide, you can find them in books about Monet. The total time from departure to arrival back in Paris is about 5 hours, of which travel time is about 1 1/2 hours each way.
