Itinerary
After about a 1h30 min trip through the verdant countryside, you will arrive in Giverny. Enter this world famous village, famous for its pictural nature.
The visit starts with a stroll through the luscious Monet garden, which was the main source of inspiration for this indisputable founding father of impressionism. Cross the Clos-Normand, where you will find flowers from the Far East. Finally, you’ll come upon the magnificent water garden, famous for its water lilies, weeping willows, and the celebrated Japanese bridge spanning the pond.
Thanks to your audio-guide, you will have two hours to tour Monet’s home, his studio and vibrantly colored gardens. Claude Monet lived with his family for more than 40 years in this Normand village. Follow in Monet’s footsteps as you visit the house, which includes the “blue sitting room,” his reading room which opens into the “pantry” where he kept tea, oil, spices and eggs. Continue on to the dining room, which houses the private apartments and one of the world’s largest Japanese print collections.
Time to drive back through the landscape of the Eure French Region. You will be dropped back at the departure point.
