From Paris: Monet’s Garden Guided Tour with Transfers

An artistic experience

Step into the artistic world of Claude Monet’s house and gardens on this half-day tour as your bus with return transfers takes the scenic route to Giverny. Enjoy views of the Seine winding through the villages as you approach the artist’s quaint house and vibrant gardens. Observe Monet’s house filled with blue and yellow walls, including the blue-tiled kitchen, the pantry with wall-mounted spices and egg racks, and the stairs to his studio. Be enthralled by the easels and the paintbrushes the artist used as your guide tells you the inspiration behind Monet’s famous water lily paintings. Discover the Japanese influence in the artist’s reading room, painted blue with Japanese prints.

Monet’s masterpiece of gardens

The artistic magic continues as you step outside into the Water Garden and the Clos Normand Garden. Monet used this garden as the inspiration for over 250 of his paintings. Sit by the tranquil, shimmering waters full of lily pads and relax amidst the soft, dappled light filtering through weeping willows and bamboo. You can spot the bright green bridge that appears in most of Monet’s paintings. Next up is the Clos Normand Garden, where you can stroll down winding paths lined with fragrant climbing roses and apricot trees, adding pops of color amidst the green. The garden invites you to take in a colorful burst of flowers, from peonies to tulips to daffodils — like a painter's palette come to life!
