Monet's Giverny: Private Garden & House with Expert Art Guide

Step inside the legendary pink house and luminous water-lily garden that gave birth to Impressionism — explored at your own pace with a private art historian. The garden's reflections and flower-lined paths are simply unmissable.

What to expect

Wander through the riot of roses, wisterias, and nasturtiums of the Clos Normand garden before crossing the famous Japanese bridge over the water-lily pond. Step inside Monet's sunny yellow dining room and cobalt-blue kitchen exactly as he left them. Your expert guide weaves stories of the master's obsession with light, colour, and changing seasons throughout. End with quiet time in the garden to sketch, photograph, or simply absorb the extraordinary beauty.
