Fun Experience
laurisluna, Nov 2024
The Monet house was very pretty. It was nice to see and walk thru a place where a great artist lived and painted his masterpieces.
Excellent excursion spoilt by too much waiting around at the end !
ALEXIS_A, Nov 2024
An enjoyable excursion spoilt by too much hanging around in the cold at the end !! No eateries or places for tea or coffee open after we left the Monet home, and the rendez vous time and place meant a lot of unnecessary waiting around in the cold.
Monet's inspiration
Specian, Nov 2024
The place is beautiful, sorry that in October there are not many flowers....I was imagining in spring, it should be all blooming ...this is the inspiration of Monet. As for the tour , the guide led us to a piece , indicated the path we should follow and what time we should return to the onibus. On the return, we lost, because there are several side streets, and the bus is well away....the luck was to have found a man who spoke Portuguese, to guide us the way....we were the last to arrive, with the bus already connected.....we passed suffocation.I suggest that the guides wait at the scheduled time where the road to the bus begins.
Excellent Giverny day trip

Itinerary
Embark on a journey to Claude Monet’s bloom-bursting estate at Giverny and learn about the hugely influential Impressionist art movement. Travel from Paris to the quaint country village of Giverny by air-conditioned coach. On the drive, which takes around an hour, your guide will provide a detailed explanation of the day’s agenda
Fondation Claude Monet
Your first stop is the Fondation Claude Monet where you’ll be treated to a brief but informative introduction to the estate where the Impressionist master made his home. After the orientation tour, you are free to explore the House and Gardens of Monet at your leisure using a convenient self-guided audio app. Stroll around the lily pad-peppered ponds of the garden that were made famous by Monet’s own masterpieces. Admire the fabulous explosion of blooms which change depending on the season. Make your way around the artist’s ivy-clad house which has been restored to show how it would have appeared during the painter’s lifetime.
You can also grab lunch in one of the town’s tranquil bars or restaurants which exude provincial charm. After lunch, we’ll regroup and make the short trip back to Paris with enough time to spare for you to enjoy another fun-filled activity in Paris. Take advantage of this unparallel experience to one of France's most photographable and unique destinations.
