What to Expect on This Private Giverny Tour

From Paris, enjoy a 1-hour drive through the French countryside with narration from your guide on the sights and landscapes you pass by en route to Giverny for a full day of art, gourmet food, and lush gardens.

Around 9am, you will arrive at Monet’s House and Garden for 30 minutes of exclusive access to the attraction before it opens to the public. The garden blooms year-round, and you’ll learn more about what you’re seeing from a helpful brochure provided by Fondation Claude Monet.  A highlight includes a visit in the garden that is home to the Japanese bridge and lily ponds that inspired one of Claude Monet’s most famous paintings: the “Nymphéas” (Water Lilies).

Afterward, head inside to Claude Monet’s house, where he lived with his family for 43 years. You will immerse yourself in the artist’s daily life by crossing the blue sitting room, the dining room, and his studio, all of which were completely refurbished.

Explore Giverny on your own

After your visit to the gardens and museum, you will take a short walk to the village for flowered houses, art galleries, cafes, and the famous rose-colored Hotel Baudy —  once the hangout for American Impressionists. If you like, there will be time to visit Claude Monet’s grave and the Sainte-Radegonde Church.

The transportation will be waiting for you at a predetermined meeting point for your return to Paris.
