The drive from Paris to Giverny is beautiful, and we enjoyed seeing the extremely scenic and charming area around Giverny too. Our guide Sebastien was friendly and informative. He was a safe driver and spoke excellent English. Once there, tThe guide leaves us at the entrance and then we are on or own to explore and fend for ourselves through the hordes. The gardens are stunning and the home is cute, filled with art and memories. But too many people want to see Monet's home and there are WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE being sold tickets to see the home and garden in a single day. Long queues everywhere, swarming people everywhere. It is difficult to get photos without several hundred of "your new best friends" in them. Monet's home and garden is being loved to death. Perhaps the best strategy is to go very early. That said, I was glad to have gone. It just requires patience and politeness from all to wait to take your photos.

Full description

Leave Paris behind for a scenic drive to Normandy with your knowledgeable driver-guide to discover the beautiful home of the "Father of Impressionism" – Claude Monet.

Experience the famous gardens that fill Monet's paintings. View the water garden shaded by weeping willows, with the famous Japanese bridge, wisterias, azaleas, and the well-known lily ponds. Enjoy the quaint charm of Monet's home as you admire the precious collection of Japanese engravings on display.

Stop at the Nympheas studio, home to the Foundation's Shop, where you can choose to pick up a souvenir. See the Clos Normand with its archways of climbing plants entwined around brilliantly colored shrubs, offering the perfect palette from spring to autumn.

Wander around the village that attracted large numbers of American artists between 1883 and 1920. These men and women soon formed an important artist's colony in the village of Giverny.
