Monet's Garden at Giverny

Monet's Garden at Giverny

The village Giverny has gained worldwide fame thanks to a man who lived here for over 40 years of his life - Claude Monet. The paintings of the famous water lilies in his own pond, as well as the flower meadow behind his house, have become impressionistic masterpieces.

Today, his former residence is home to a museum. With many exhibitions displaying impressionistic works of art from around the world, Giverny remains a Mecca of the Impressionists, many of whom lived here at least partly around the end of the 19th century.

You will visit Monet’s garden and residential house and have plenty of time to let the spirit of the little town sink in.

Experiences in Vernon

The picturesque town of Vernon in the Seine Valley is a delight to explore. Although for many, it is the stopping off point for a visit to Monet's Garden at Giverny, there is actually a lot to explore in Vernon itself.

Although about 300 houses were destroyed in the 2nd World War, you can still admire many traditional 15th century Norman framework houses and the superb Gothic abbey church. The customs house is well worth visiting as well as the impressive Château de Bizy is on the left bank of the Seine.

Take a walk to Côte St-Michel, for really good views of the Seine and the Old Town. Vernon is also at the forefront of modern industry, with the engine for the Ariane rockets built here.
