The garden is lovely. Skipping the line is a good idea. Sunny weather brings more visitors. The water lillies bloom in June. More time is needed to make it less rushed and to see everything . Walkways and passageways get clogged with photographers so you need lots of patience. I would go on my own next time to allow for more time.

Sebastian was friendly, knowledgable, and even had a picture book to show us what he was talking about. Would be nice to explain things along the drive.

We work with the Claude Monet Foundation and have the right to use the special group entrance where you'll get inside the garden right away.
The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet
There are two distinct gardens on Claude Monet's property. The lovely Clos Normand has hundreds of types of flowers in bloom throughout the spring, summer, and fall. You'll for sure recognize the bold purple Iris' lined pathways and the spicy, orange and yellow Capucines that climb on the arches just in front of his pink house with green shutters.

Waterlillies!!! The Japanese garden on Claude Monet's estate is the most famous as it has a green bridge and a waterlily-filled pond. Your guide will lead you directly to it and help you get the best souvenir photos! You'll see the precise spots where Monet painted from and compare the paintings with what you see in real life.

So, you will be given free time to explore inside on your own.
