Description
Follow in the footsteps of the Impressionist artist Claude Monet and visit the small village of Giverny where he lived until his death. Skip the long lines to the house and gardens that inspired his paintings.
Stroll the streets of the charming village of Giverny and discover the grave of Claude Monet in the churchyard. Then, skip the long lines to Monet's house and gardens to hear the story of the artist's life and how he led the Impressionist movement from the village between 1883 and 1926.
Learn how artists such as John Singer Sargent, Paul Cézanne and Mary Cassatt joined him in the sleepy village to form an unofficial artists’ colony. Be enchanted by the ponds and gardens that inspired his paintings, and see the Japanese bridge and lilies of the Oriental water garden
Savor the scent of flowers in season, such as wild roses, hollyhocks, poppies and honeysuckle.
