Overview

When in Paris, don’t just look at Claude Monet’s paintings in a museum – go and walk inside the landscapes that inspired them. In less than 1.5 h you’ll swap the city streets for Giverny, a fairytale village where Claude Monet lived and painted for over 40 years. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan with a small group and a multilingual driver-guide who shares stories about Monet, Impressionism and the region on the way.With your included ticket, step straight into Monet’s estate: explore his pink-walled house, his studio and rooms filled with Japanese prints, then wander through the Clos Normand flower garden, a riot of colours from spring to autumn. Cross to the legendary water garden with its green Japanese bridge, bamboo and water-lily pond – the exact scenery that appears in his most famous canvases.
This half-day small-group trip is perfect for art and garden lovers, but also for anyone who wants a peaceful, photogenic break in one of France’s most beautiful villages.
