Have your own private driver pick you up from your Paris apartment or hotel and take you one and a half hours away to the little town of Giverny, inspiration of the impressionists, where Claude Monet lived for 43 years, from 1883 to 1926. He had a passion for gardening and colors and thus conceived his gardens as works of art.
Not to be missed, his house with brightly colored rooms, his great yellow dining room and blue Rouen ceramic tiled kitchen, exquisitely preserved, and, of course, his light-filled studio and his bedroom overlooking his beautiful garden.
You will love the Japanese-inspired atmosphere with the “estampes” on the walls, and the Japanese bridge overlooking his famous lily pond, inspiration for many of his paintings and his water lily series.
After your visit, you may want to visit Claude Monet’s grave at the cemetery, or visit the Mus□e des Impressionnismes with paintings reflecting Monet’s influence on art.
Visit at your own pace and stay around two hours. Choose to go in the morning or in the afternoon.
