Board a comfortable bus and head out to Giverny, a 1.5-hour ride. Your first stop is the Claude Monet Foundation.

Stroll through the lush gardens, a primary source of inspiration for some of Monet’s most famous artworks.

Learn more about Monet’s life as you roam through his pink-plastered house, where he lived and worked for 43 years. Explore the leading room, larder, and the artist’s studio, as well as the bright yellow dining room, which has been reconstructed down to the very last detail with earthenware dishes and a blue-tiled kitchen.

Next, you'll visit the Impressionisms Museum in Giverny. Skip the ticket lines with your priority entrance and delve into the world of Impressionism in this small museum. Learn about the origins of Impressionism, how Monet was at the forefront of this art movement, and how his unique style influenced both his contemporaries and the generations that followed.

Finally, head to “Au Coin du P’aintre,” a traditional French bakery, for a gourmet snack break, after which you are free to explore Giverny on your own. Visit Monet’s grave and the Sainte-Radegonde Church, both located near the bakery, or simply enjoy your time strolling through the charming village until you reconvene at the bus to drive back to Paris.
