We leave Paris, and drive by the western districts of the city and then jump on the Normandy motorway as far as Bonnière.
After crossing the River Seine at Vernon we reach Giverny , the home of Monét , a lovely and tiny village located around 1h30 drive from Paris.
Our guide gives you an enlightening and full guided visit of the gardens and home before leaving you to visit Monét's home and studio on your own, so you can go into details like the famous Japanese engravings at your own pace.

We were able to book the tour easily on the internet and the staff we met in Paris were helpful and courteous. The tour included a good mix of guide information and free time to roam and experience the house and gardens on our own. One of our vacation highlights.

For anyone who loves Monet's work, this is a good use of time. Its 90 minutes outside Paris, but was very crowded the day we visited.
The tour guides offered minimal commentary, so anyone hoping for more engagement and less silence, will be disappointed.
