Giverny: Monet's Breathtaking Gardens & Home Tour from Paris
No address available
Like nature? Love Impressionism? Read on! Let us whisk you away on a half-day trip to the village of Giverny where Monet and other Impressionists set up home in the 19th Century. After a short one-and-a-half-hour ride from Paris, you’ll find yourself in this quaint little village in Normandy, where you’ll visit Monet’s exquisite house and gardens. Your art historian guide or audioguide will animate your tour around the flowerbeds that proved a source of inspiration for Monet, past the water lily pond made famous in the Nymphéas series and across the Japanese bridge that pops up so often in his work. Then you’ll explore Monet’s house, almost untouched by the passage of time.

This was a great experience. Our guide was wonderful and so very knowledgeable. We really appreciated her attention to detail and being so approachable. Monet's garden was so beautiful in the autumn light. It made for a perfect afternoon with so many plants and flowers with radiant colors and of course Monet's famous Japanese bridge and waterlilies. A must see for lovers of Impressionist art.

Good guide. Needed more time. Highly recommend visiting. Would be nice to stay overnight in the area. Monet also painted inside of the house!

A great way to see Monet’s Garden, booking was easy, location to meet easy to find, and a comfortable bus ride. We did the audio tour, which enabled us to meander through the gardens at our own leisure. The Gardens were magnificent, well worth the trip!!

Great time. Alex is very knowledgeable and her passion for the gardens and its history was evident. She was very kind, even with challenging customers. Thank you Alex!

When booked the meeting point and drop off point were listed as the same. I prepped my return plans accordingly and they dropped us off in another location. The time at Monet felt too short and rushed.
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- 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.
- During the high season, this popular destination can experience significant crowds. As a result, there may be some unavoidable queues, especially during the morning hours when visitor numbers tend to be highest. We appreciate your understanding and recommend visiting later in the day if you prefer a slightly less busy experience.
