Highlights

  • Skip the long lines to Monet's house and gardens
  • See features that inspired his paintings and look inside the house where he lived
Full description

Stroll the streets of the charming village of Giverny and discover the grave of Claude Monet in the churchyard. Then, skip the long lines to Monet's house and gardens to hear the story of the artist's life and how he led the Impressionist movement from the village between 1883 and 1926.

Learn how artists such as John Singer Sargent, Paul Cézanne and Mary Cassatt joined him in the sleepy village to form an unofficial artists’ colony. Be enchanted by the ponds and gardens that inspired his paintings, and see the Japanese bridge and lilies of the Oriental water garden.

Savor the scent of flowers in season, such as wild roses, hollyhocks, poppies and honeysuckle. 

Admire the water lilies and weeping willows, instantly recognizable from his classic paintings and look inside the thatched roof house to find the cheerful kitchen and his collection of 18th and 19th century Japanese prints.

The tour was exceptional. Our guide, Shirley was friendly, professional and all inclusive of each individual on the tour. Her knowledge of the subject was very extensive and Shirley shared this with humor and fun. There was a bit of rain which didn’t really dampen our spirits.

Sheila was by far the best tour guide we have ever had. She was patient and knowledgeable in everything to do with Monet. She made sure we were in the correct position and location to get the best photos and provided intricate details of Monet's life, influences and technique. I just can't say enough about how she made our tour perfect in every way.

The tour was great, Sheila is a very good guide, helpful and intelligent, was telling us an interesting story in English for almost two hours. No one else shown up from our small group so my husband and I had in fact a personal tour which was a very good experience.
