Overview

Claude Monet spent 43 years in Giverny. He designed the garden himself — the flower beds, the water garden, the Japanese bridge — and then spent decades painting it. The Nymphéas series that fills entire rooms of the Orangerie in Paris was born here, looking at this pond, in this light.

From Le Havre, Giverny is two hours through the Normandy countryside. This private tour choices you up directly at the cruise terminal and takes you there without the stress of trains, taxis, or
shared buses.

At Giverny, you have three hours — enough time to walk the flower garden slowly, cross the famous green bridge over the lily pond, and visit the house where Monet lived and worked. The rooms are preserved as he left them: the yellow dining room, the blue kitchen, the walls covered in Japanese prints he collected throughout his life.

Your return to ship is fully guaranteed.

Activity itinerary

The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
The flower garden at Giverny is one of the most deliberately designed landscapes in France. Monet planted it as a living palette — long beds of nasturtiums, irises, poppies, and roses arranged by colour and height so that something is always in bloom from April through October. Walk the central Grande Allée from the house to the garden gate, then wander the side beds at whatever pace suits you. The house itself — ochre-yellow outside, intensely coloured within — is open throughout. The blue kitchen and the yellow dining room are exactly as Monet kept them. His collection of Japanese woodblock prints still lines the walls.

Musee des impressionnismes

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Optional: A short walk from Monet's garden, this quietly excellent museum tells the storey of Impressionism and its deep roots in the Seine Valley. Temporary exhibitions change throughout the season and are consistently well-curated. Worth an hour if your schedule allows.

Giverny

  • 1h
Take advantage of a quiet moment to stroll through the charming village of Giverny at your own pace. Whether you explore other local sights, relax at a café, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the Normandy countryside, it’s the perfect chance to connect with the local spirit.
