What To Expect
The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet
With your skip-the-line ticket and audio guide, you will enter the garden through the special entrance for ticket holders. You will have the opportunity to discover the precious collection of Japanese prints displayed in several rooms, as well as the Japanese garden and the flower garden. Claude Monet's property in Giverny, bequeathed by his son to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1966, became the Claude Monet Foundation after extensive restoration work, opening in 1980. The vast Water Lilies studio, just steps from the house, has also been restored and houses the Foundation's shop.

Poor arrangement.

1.00No one met us at the meeting place. The email with confirmation of purchased tickets was not worth anything / the tickets were to be received by person at the meeting place - which was not there. We called given number, but only came to answer. Poor arrangement.
The value for money is excellent.

5.00The audio guide is clear, well-paced, and full of anecdotes that bring the places to life without ever feeling overwhelming. The explanations about the garden, the studio, and Monet's artistic choices are accessible to both novices and experts. The itinerary is well-designed, allowing you to admire the highlights at your own pace while benefiting from relevant historical insights. The value for money is excellent. An immersive, moving, and informative experience that I highly recommend.
Avoid unless you can listen before your visit.

2.00This is barely adequate. The pdf & audio download were not sent till 24 hours before - so no chance to download at home before travelling - a problem if you’re travelling with limited WiFi access. The commentary is ok but heavily US accentin the narrative with no attempt to pronounce French words properly. The audio download is clunky, comes as separate files and wouldn’t connect to my iPhone audio system to be heard through my earphones so I had to listen to it in advance of my. Visit.
