Our tips for Giverny

  • Daytripper. If you want to avoid the crowds at Monet’s garden, then try arriving right as the gates open. And, you’ll definitely want to book the Giverny tour on a weekday.
  • Plan Ahead! Make sure you allow yourself enough time to fully enjoy Claude Monet’s Garden. It takes a little while to fully explore the garden, but you'll also need time for reflection.
  • Weatherman. Do check the weather forecast before your sightseeing trip. It would be a shame to arrive at Monet’s house in the middle of a torrential downpour!
  • Money-saving tip. The shoulder seasons of April and October offer slight discounts on lodging and airfare, but you'll also be risking a little extra rain. Making a trip to Versailles and Giverny on the same day is also a great way to get more bang for your buck!

Good to know

The mecca of Impressionist art and pastoral villages, Giverny attracts admirers from all over the world, especially for Claude Monet’s Garden and home. Just 75km away from Paris, Giverny welcomes tourists and impressionist artists alike to its spectacular sightseeing places and art workshops. The ancient town of Giverny was previously known as Warnacum. This was discovered upon the unearthing of several property documents from antiquity.

The achingly beautiful gardens of Claude Monet, born Oscar-Claude, are the subject of many famous paintings. Monet fell in love with the French village in 1883 when he was passing it by train. The founder of impressionism, he spent his entire life painting among the flowers until he went blind. After that, he would draw paintings of his gardens almost from memory. No wonder, these gardens attract over 530,000 people each year.

Monet’s lily ponds and engraved bridges show a striking resemblance to Japanese art, though he never went to Japan himself. The garden has over 66 different varieties of flowers and the pond is flanked by over 31 types of flowers and trees around it. While you are there, don’t forget to visit Monet’s grave which lies almost hidden behind the church.

If you want to stay, you can live in the Blue House within the Monet estate and get to live like Monet for a day.
