Entering Normandy, you will visit Claude Monet's home, the father of "Impressionism". During this half day trip, you will discover in a Small-Group the famous gardens created by the impressionist painter, and the well-known Japanese bridge in the midst of its flowered paths and wather-lily ponds.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Fondation Claude Monet
This half-day trip will lead you to the edge of Normandy, where you will visit the idyllic home of Claude Monet. There, get a Skip-the-Line Access as you enter into the garden with your guide by the special small group entrance! You will have the opportunity to discover the precious collection of Japanese engravings is displayed in several rooms, hung in the marmer chosen by the master of Giverny himself. Claude Monet’s property at Giverny, left by his son to the Académie des Beaux-arts in 1966, has, after completion of large scale restoration work, become the Claude Monet Foundation, inaugurated in 1980. The huge Nymphéas studio, a stone’s throw from the house, has also been restored and contains the Foundation’s Shop.
2. The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet
You will also enjoy time in the gardens which have been replanted as they once were and offer visitors the “painting from nature” which Claude Monet’s contemporaries considered to be one of his masterpieces. The rectangular Clos Normand, with archways of climbing plants entwined around brilliantly coloured shrubs, lies before the house and studios, offering from Spring to Autumn the palette of varying colours to the painter-gardner who was “ecstatic about flowers”.
3. The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet
Lastly, the Water Garden, formed by a tributary of the Epte, lies further away, shaded by weeping willows. With its famous Japanese Bridge, its wistarias, azaleas and its pond, it has once more become that casket of sky and water which inspired the pictorial universe of the water lilies.
4. Giverny
Take a walk in the village of Giverny. Enjoy an ice cream, have a drink or look for souvenirs to take home.

The only con is that this experience doesn't include any kind of tour of the house and garden. Once you're there, you're free to explore and once told to meet back up at a certain time.

Pros: you get to skip the line which is huge as this had possibly the longest line I saw, even longer than the louvre. The transport is pretty handy if like me, you don't drive and the house and garden is beautiful

The Gardens and home are beautiful! Our driver was 40 mins late. It shortened our time in Giverny. Then he dropped us off at a different location in Paris, due to traffic.
It was ridiculous, considering all you are paying for with this tour, is a ride to and from the site. Bot at all professional or worth the money!

Such a beautiful garden and I loved learning more about Monet. It was wonderful to see the countryside of Normandy. A welcomed break from the busy city of Paris.

The narrative as we were driving to Giverny by Michelle was excellent and the gardens themselves were beautiful but not at their best at this time of year.
We had a minor issue because we were late for the return bus. We thought we had to be ready to return at 4:50pm rather than 4:15pm.

Great trip! Office/meeting place conveniently located. Driver/guide was knowledgeable and courteous. Monet’s home and gardens were beautiful and crowded, but that was expected due to peak flowering season. Would definitely sign up for this small tour again.

Great tour guide, telling us Monet's story before we reached Giverny, and then, once fully prepared, allowing us to explore and experience the gardens and house at our own pace. Wondeful!

A wonderful few hours in Giverny.
Fabrice was a very informative guide and he was a great driver. Highly recommend this tour if you want a 1/2 day option.
