Conflans-Sainte-Honorine to Giverny and Louviers: Day trip

Begin your visit at Monet's house, exploring the artist's living spaces with their distinctive yellow dining room and blue kitchen filled with his collection of Japanese prints. Step into the Clos Normand garden to wander among the same flower beds that inspired his paintings—nasturtiums, poppies, and iris bloom in vibrant seasonal displays. Cross under the road through the tunnel to reach the famous water garden. Walk across the Japanese bridge draped in wisteria and find the perfect spot by the water lily pond where Monet painted his most famous series. End at the nearby Musée des Impressionnismes for rotating exhibitions about the Impressionist movement.
