What To Expect
Fondation Claude Monet
This half-day trip will lead you to the edge of Normandy, where you will visit the idyllic home of Claude Monet. There, get a Skip-the-Line Access as you enter into the garden with your guide by the special small group entrance! You will have the opportunity to discover the precious collection of Japanese engravings is displayed in several rooms, hung in the marmer chosen by the master of Giverny himself. Claude Monet’s property at Giverny, left by his son to the Académie des Beaux-arts in 1966, has, after completion of large scale restoration work, become the Claude Monet Foundation, inaugurated in 1980. The huge Nymphéas studio, a stone’s throw from the house, has also been restored and contains the Foundation’s Shop.
The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet
You will also enjoy time in the gardens which have been replanted as they once were and offer visitors the “painting from nature” which Claude Monet’s contemporaries considered to be one of his masterpieces. The rectangular Clos Normand, with archways of climbing plants entwined around brilliantly coloured shrubs, lies before the house and studios, offering from Spring to Autumn the palette of varying colours to the painter-gardner who was “ecstatic about flowers”.

5.00The gardens are phenomenal, just exquisitely beautiful. If you take photos, they will be fabulous. You will have the best experience if you go early in the day when it is less crowded.

5.00We had a wonderful time at Monet’s Gardens and House in Giverny. Dario was a great guide and gave us some history while on the way in the mini van. He took us to and explained the gardens and then we were in our own. Great experience! Thank you!

5.00The ride to Giverny was comfortable and quick. Skipping the long line was appreciated. Our guide was knowledgeable and easy to understand. After the formal tour, we had time to see more of the gardens. The quick trip back made the outing easy.
