Overview
Monet’s gardens at Giverny inspired so much of the famed impressionist’s work. Yet at 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the nearest train station, they can be fiddly to reach by public transportation. Pair the convenience of a prebooked ticket with the ease of coach transfers to and from a central Paris meeting point on this organized package. Enjoy time to explore independently and recreate the paintings in your photos.

Just a ride & ticket

The Host had an hour to tell us anything about Paris, Monet, Giverny & she didn't say a word there or back. I got done 45 mins before meet time, sat on bench, went back in, wasted mins. Had no idea the town was to the left 10 steps. After I asked if we were going to town & she said no. Why didn't she tell us it was right there! Good for transportation & they bought the 11€ tix.
