Great visit to the Monet residence - Went on a half day tour to Monet’s home in Giverny. It was more than I thought it would be. I thought it would be a house and a pond. It was a beautiful old home with replicas of Monet’s work hanging throughout the house. Since this was the last day of the season there were still many flowers in bloom. The pond was incredible in size. The tour guide, Hendricks, was superb. He provided background on the bus trip from Paris to Giverny and back to Paris. I had lunch at La Capucine and the plat du jour was an excellent beef Bourguignon with potatoes, carrots, onions, and mushrooms, and a real price value. I fully enjoyed the experience. The site reopens in April 2026.

Hendricks Brings Monet to life! - We had a wonderful day visiting Giverny. Hendricks shared so much great information on the bus ride there that when we walked through the house and gardens of Monet we could understand why Monet loved living and painting there. I would highly recommend this tour.

A beautiful house & garden - The garden expense was better than expected given the time of year. There was still plenty of colour and it was such a tranquil setting. The house was also a surprise, so pretty. Or guide Hendricks was very knowledgeable and added some really interesting background to Monet’s life and paintings. Highly recommend the tour being able to just wander and use the app.
