Paris-Charles De Gaulle to Giverny: Private day trip

Begin your visit at Monet's house, exploring the artist's carefully preserved living spaces with their distinctive yellow dining room and blue kitchen filled with his extensive collection of Japanese prints that profoundly influenced his artistic vision and technique, introducing him to new ways of seeing light, shadow, and composition.

Main attractions

• The water garden with its Japanese bridge, weeping willows and lily-covered pond — the direct subject of Monet's greatest series
• The Clos Normand — a formal flower garden in front of the pink-shuttered house, laid out in color drifts by season
• Monet's house interior: Japanese print collection, yellow dining room and blue-tiled kitchen preserved as the artist left them

Take note

• Giverny is extremely popular in May–June when the wisteria and irises peak — book timed entry well in advance; the site closes on Mondays and throughout winter
