Experience Monet’s World Like Never Before
Step into the tranquil beauty of Claude Monet’s Giverny on this exclusive private tour, designed for small groups of up to 8 people. This intimate and personalized experience allows you to explore Monet’s house, gardens, and the picturesque village of Giverny at your own pace, with a private driver-guide to ensure a seamless journey.
Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in western Paris, where a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle awaits to take you to Giverny. During the scenic drive, enjoy a video guide that introduces you to Monet’s life and legacy, offering insight into the world of the father of Impressionism.
Upon arrival, your private driver-guide will provide a detailed orientation, highlighting the key points of interest at Monet’s house, gardens, and the surrounding village.

Then, step into the Clos Normand, the vibrant flower garden bursting with seasonal blooms, and the Water Garden, famous for its serene lily ponds and the iconic Japanese bridge. These gardens inspired Monet’s most celebrated works, including his renowned Water Lilies series. Take your time to soak in the atmosphere and capture the beauty of this extraordinary place.

After exploring Monet’s house and gardens, take a stroll through the picturesque village of Giverny.

TRAFFIC IN PARIS
Please note that traffic between Paris and Versailles can sometimes extend travel times to over an hour. To optimize your journey:
• Pickups: Our pickups are limited to the western part of Paris and select districts to reduce long vehicle trips and avoid delays.
• Departure to Giverny: We recommend choosing a meeting point in the western part of Paris. This allows the driver sufficient time to reach Giverny and
ensures you arrive on schedule for your guided visit.
• Return to Paris: If your final destination is in central or eastern Paris, consider selecting a return meeting point in the western part of the city (e.g., near the
Eiffel Tower). From there, you can conveniently use the metro to reach your destination.
By following these suggestions, you can minimize travel time and enjoy a smoother overall experience. For personalized advice on meeting points or metro
routes, feel free to contact us. We are here to help make your trip as seamless as possible.

GOOD TO KNOW

• No Cloakroom: There are no cloakroom services at the sites, so it’s best to travel light and leave unnecessary items at your hotel.
