Fondation Claude Monet, Giverny, France This half-day trip will lead you to the edge of Normandy, where you will visit the idyllic home of Claude Monet located in the small village of Giverny. Your tour, will start from Paris City Center where your guide will pick you up at your hotel or private apartment. You will be transported aboard a deluxe vehicle with one of our guides, so you can, relax and make the most of your trip.
Once at destination in Giverny, you will enjoy time in the gardens which have been replanted as they once were and offer visitors the “painting from nature” which Claude Monet’s contemporaries considered to be one of his masterpieces. The rectangular Clos Normand, with archways of climbing plants entwined around brilliantly colored shrubs, lies before the house and studios, offering from Spring to Autumn the palette of varying colors to the painter-gardener who was “ecstatic about flowers”. Lastly, the Water Garden, formed by a tributary of the Epte, lies further away, shaded by weeping willows. With its famous Japanese Bridge, its wistarias, azaleas and its pond, it has once more become that casket of sky and water which inspired the pictorial universe of the water lilies.
You will also have the opportunity to discover a precious collection of Japanese engravings displayed in several rooms, hung in the marmer chosen by the master of Giverny himself. Claude Monet’s property at Giverny, left by his son to the Académie des Beaux-arts in 1966, has, after completion of large scale restoration work, become the Claude Monet Foundation, inaugurated in 1980. The huge Nymphéas studio, a stone’s throw from the house, has also been restored and contains the Foundation’s Shop.
Then before leaving the village of Giverny, pay a last tribute to this universally acclaimed artist, at his grave. 120 minutes

Siamo riandati a visitare la casa e i giardini di Monet dopo 9 anni. La prima volta i miei figli erano troppo piccoli e l'avevamo apprezzata solo io e mio marito. Era giunto il momento che anche loro si godessero la magia di camminare dentro alle opere del grande Maestro.
Emozione unica anche stavolta. Sempre tutto molto curato e impeccabile.
Questa volta abbiamo visitato anche la piccola chiesa che c'è poco più avanti e reso omaggio alla tomba che accoglie il pittore.

Our trip was canceled last minute because they couldn’t find us a driver that didn’t have Covid supposedly.
And they still charged my credit card $850. I am now having to waste my time on the phone trying to prove why we didn’t go on the trip to get refunded.

Me pareció muy corto,no pude comer,no pude ver la tiendita al final del recorrido, los jardines se ven muy lento con mucho flujo de gente,no es claro el recorrido,etc.Fue estresante. Un lugar tan bello y mágico tenia que tomarse más tiempo.
