Your tour departs at 1:30pm. Meet at the spot in Paris specified at least 15 minutes before the start time. Please take note that if you’re late, there will not be accommodations made, and you won’t be refunded, so please make sure you're on time.
Sit back and relax on your luxury bus ride. It takes a little over an hour to get from Paris to Giverny, but once you arrive, stop at Claude Monet’s pink stucco house. Explore the area, and go into rooms where Monet himself sat and lived. Many renovations have been made to the house over the years, but you’ll still see items owned and used by the Impressionist painter himself.
Afterward, it’s on to the garden. Walk around the planted grounds, and take in sights that might look familiar already. Many of Monet’s painting were inspired by his outdoor garden area. See the well-known green archways climbing with plants and shrubs. Plus, catch a glimpse of the bridge Monet painted in his famous Waterlilies and Japanese Bridge.
Follow your group as they board your luxury bus for the ride back to Paris.

Itinerary
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.
Duration: 30 minutes
Admission Ticket Included
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”.
Duration: 30 minutes
Admission Ticket Free
Lastly, the Water Garden, formed by a tributary of the Epte, lies further away, shaded by weeping willows. With its famous Japanese Bridge, its wistarias, azaleas and its pond, it has once more become that casket of sky and water which inspired the pictorial universe of the water lilies.
