Just an hour from Paris, Giverny is a must-visit for art lovers and nature enthusiasts. This picturesque village was home to Claude Monet, the legendary painter who founded Impressionism. His breathtaking gardens and charming home still look just as they did when he painted his famous works.
Visit Monet’s House and Gardens
The highlight of Giverny is Monet’s house and gardens. His pink-and-green home offers a glimpse into his life, featuring original furniture, vibrant decor, and a collection of Japanese prints that influenced his art. Step outside, and you’ll find yourself in a living painting!
The Clos Normand Garden bursts with flowers in every color imaginable, arranged in a wild yet harmonious way. A short stroll leads to the Japanese water garden, where the famous lily ponds reflect the sky. The curved green bridge, draped in wisteria, is instantly recognizable from Monet’s masterpieces.
Explore the Musée des Impressionnismes
Giverny isn’t just about Monet. At the Musée des Impressionnismes, you’ll discover other artists who shaped the movement. This small but fascinating museum showcases rotating exhibitions that celebrate Impressionism’s impact on the art world.
Wander Through the Village
Giverny itself is a charming escape. Stroll along quiet streets, past stone cottages covered in ivy and blooming flowers. Stop at a local cafe for coffee and a pastry, or browse art galleries featuring modern painters inspired by Monet’s legacy.
