Village of Giverny
The second most popular tourist destination in Normandy after Mont St Michel and the birthplace of the Impressionists, Claude Monet's village has retained all its charm and appearance of yesteryear with its picturesque streets and flower gardens.
A walk in the land of artists where you can also visit the two sites of Giverny: The Monet Foundation and the Giverny Museum of Impressionism
The Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny
The Musée des Impressionnismes in Giverny is one of the most important addresses for the great names of this artistic movement. From the end of March to the beginning of November, discover each year several temporary exhibitions as well as a permanent exhibition on the world of Claude Monet.
The Monet Foundation
Claude Monet lived in his house in Giverny for 43 years, from 1883 to 1926. He was as passionate about gardening as he was about colour, and he designed his flower and water gardens as works of art.
Walking through his garden and house, visitors can still feel the atmosphere of the master of Impressionism and marvel at the flower compositions and water lilies that were his most fertile sources of inspiration.Meet at the hotel reception for skip-the-line tickets
