Things to do in Claude Monet's Home
Claude Monet, the famous impressionist painter from the late 19th and early 20th century, is one of history’s best-known artists. Just 1h30 drive from Paris, Monet settled in Giverny in 1883 and lived there for forty-three years until his death in 1926. Now open to the public, admire the artist’s house and stunning gardens, the source of inspiration for some of his most iconic works.
Beautifully decorated, Claude Monet supervised the renovation of the house himself, choosing the colours and furniture for each room. Many of the rooms are open to visitors, including the salon, the dining room, the bedroom and the studio. Tour the house and admire the collection of antiques and furniture. In the studio you will find his brushes, canvases and stretcher preserved, all used to design his masterpieces.
One of his greatest inspirations and passions was his garden. His water lily paintings have gone down in history as the most beautiful impressionist expression of nature. Visit the famous Japanese inspired water garden, with its willows, colourful flowers, pond and pretty bridges and appreciate the lush surroundings.
The Claude Monet Foundation is open daily from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.

Reviews Claude Monet's Home
“We were told to meet at one place and then the tour leader was about 30 mins late. Then we all had to walk down the road to a different place to meet the bus. Then we couldn't hear or understand what information given to us on the bus. The bus was comfortable but the whole experience was a disorganised shambles”
“Darauf, dass der Audioguide aus einer App besteht, hätte schon bei der Buchung hingewiesen werden müssen, dann hätte sie entspannt vorher heruntergeladen werden können. Das Passwort zur Inbetriebnahme dann bei Tourbeginn, das ist o.k. Auch wenn wir nicht betroffen waren, die Führerin hat ihren Stiefel durchgezogen und und hat keine Rücksicht auf langsame Mitreisende genommen. Die Informationen im Bus, waren recht dürftig. Giverny war sehr schön, aber diese Tour würden wir nicht weiterempfehlen !”
“Monets Garten - ein Ort, an dem man gewesen sein muss.Zudem sehr gut organisiert, kompetente Reiseleitung. Empfehlenswert”
