Entrance feesIt was a lovely experience getting to see Monet's house and gardens. There were a lot of things to see within the village of Giverny too but time is quite limited on this trip so I wasn't able to see everything. Our guide was about 20-25 minutes late so that delayed us in setting off in the morning and the majority of the group was hack on the bus at departure time but our guide wasn't at the agreed meeting point so time management could be improved
Embark on a journey to Claude Monet's bloom-bursting estate in Giverny and learn about the hugely influential Impressionist art movement. On the way from Paris to the quaint country village of Giverny, which takes around an hour, the tour coordinator will provide a detailed explanation of the day's agenda.
Your first stop is the Fondation Claude Monet where you'll be treated to a brief but informative introduction to the exquisite estate and home of the Impressionist master. After the orientation tour, you are free to explore Monet's Home and Gardens at your leisure using a convenient self-guided tour app.
Stroll around the lily pad-peppered ponds of the garden that were made famous by Monet's own masterpieces. Admire the fabulous explosion of blooms which change depending on the season. Make your way around the artist's ivy-clad Home which has been restored to show how it would have appeared during the painter's lifetime.
You can also grab lunch at one of the town's tranquil bars or restaurants which exude provincial charm. After lunch, you'll make the short trip back with enough time to spare for you to enjoy another fun-filled activity in Paris. Don't miss out on this unparalleled experience in one of France's most photographable and unique destinations!
