What to expect during this tour?

On the footsteps of Claude Monet

To begin with, your tour guide and his/her driver will pick you up at your hotel for your very special journey to the marvelous Giverny village and to Versailles. During the trip to the west countryside of Paris, your guide will introduce himself and he will propose you a short presentation of the day that you will spend in her/him hands.

Monet is probably one of the most famous Impressionist artists. The name Impressionism itself was coined after one of his paintings when a journalist made fun of its title Impression sunrise. Because his art was so unconventional at that time, he had to wait for a long time before he could make a living out of his art. Only when he moved to Giverny, did he start to have a comfortable life. And it seems that he enjoyed a lot being in Giverny since he spent no less than 43 years in this charming Normandy village.

That’s one of the reason why a visit to his house and the charming village of Giverny is a very good way to understand his personality, his art and private life which looks like a real soap opera.

As you get into his house you’ll understand his daily life and see the pieces of furniture and also his stunning collection of Japanese prints. Whenever you decide to visit his house (opened from the end of March till the the 1st of November), you’ll always see many flowers in his garden and as you walk you’ll find the Japanese pond and bridge that became one of his favorite subjects.

The village itself is well worth a walk to discover the Auberge Baudry where artists from France but also America came to pay a visit to Monet. You’ll also discover the little medieval church and the cemetery where Monet is buried next to his family.

A visit to Giverny is a perfect day trip out of Paris to meet Monet and take a glimpse at rural France.
