Claude Monet In Giverny

Visit the village where the famous Impressionist artist lived and cultivated his iconic gardens

About an hour from Paris, Giverny is an idyllic town with an interesting story to tell. Impressionist artist Claude Monet first visited the area in 1883 and fell in love with it, so much so that he bought a house there and spent the rest of his life creating the gardens that are credited with inspiring some of his most famous works. Now a museum, Monet’s pink-walled house is a treasure trove of art and history, where you can see his studio and browse through his tools and brushes. You can also explore the gardens filled with all the iconic sights the artist loved - think enchanting lily ponds, bridges, and colorful flowers everywhere.
