Itinerary

1

Giverny

Discover the beauty of Giverny, the peaceful village where Claude Monet lived and found his inspiration. With its untouched charm and authentic atmosphere, it feels like stepping into a postcard.

2

The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet

There are two distinct gardens on Claude Monet's property. The lovely Clos Normand has hundreds of types of flowers in bloom throughout the spring, summer, and fall. You'll for sure recognize the bold purple Iris' lined pathways and the spicy, orange and yellow Capucines that climb on the arches just in front of his pink house with green shutters.

3

Fondation Claude Monet

Waterlillies!!! The Japanese garden on Claude Monet's estate is the most famous as it has a green bridge and a waterlily-filled pond. Your guide will lead you directly to it and help you get the best souvenir photos! You'll see the precise spots where Monet painted from and compare the paintings with what you see in real life.

4

Fondation Claude Monet

Monet's Colorful Home: Claude Monet lived here for more than 40 years and raised 8 children. Inside you will see his artist workshop as well as the personal decor and colorful paint that he put in every room. Groups are not allowed into the home as space is very limited inside. So, you will be given free time to explore inside on your own.

5

Eglise Sainte-Radegonde de Giverny

Graveside visit: Visit the final resting place of Claude Monet and pay your respects to the great man himself. His tomb is hidden away in a little countryside church's graveyard. Your guide will take you to it and share many of Monet's life stories that went beyond his art but still affected it.
