Full description We invite you to immerse yourself in a half-day of authentic delight by exploring the Giverny Foundation, an enriching experience that will allow you to discover this corner of magic and colour in complete freedom and at your own pace.

From the vibrant heart of Paris, we will start this fascinating tour. We will provide you with audio guides, your faithful companions during this unique adventure. As we set off on our journey, a picturesque ride of about an hour and a half through the lush countryside awaits you. Our final stop will be Giverny, a place full of inspiration and beauty.

Upon arrival in Giverny, you will be immersed in the life and work of Claude Monet, one of the most iconic artists of all time. For almost forty years, this charming Norman village was his home, where his passion and artistic vision permeated every corner. The house that once housed his creativity and dreams awaits to be discovered in all its glory.

Let yourself be carried away by the spaces where Monet brought his art to life. From the cosy "little blue room", which used to be his reading corner, to "l'épicerie", the place that housed everyday treasures such as tea, oil, spices and eggs. The dining room, a window into Japanese culture through its impressive collection of prints, one of the most exceptional in the world. The private rooms tell the story of their family and daily life.

However, the real treasure of Giverny awaits in its garden, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the master of Impressionism. As you wander through this oasis of creativity, your audio guide will be your faithful guide, taking you through Monet's life, work and imprint. Every step is a symphony of senses: the scents of flowers and the gentle rustle of the wind through the leaves.

Imagine strolling along the central path, flanked by a symphony of colours taking the form of roses and nasturtiums. The flowerbeds display a diverse palette of tulips, daffodils, jonquils, lilies and peonies. As you move on, you will enter the Clos Normand, a corner where oriental plants intertwine in an embrace of contrasts.

The water garden is the climax of this experience. It is as if it had emerged directly from Monet's canvases. Contemplate the serenity of the pond adorned with the iconic water lilies and willows that seem to weep tears of beauty. The famous Japanese bridge, an artistic symbol linking two shores in an ethereal embrace, completes this vivid picture.

This experience goes beyond a simple tour. It is a journey through the eyes and heart of a master, where nature and art intertwine in a magical dance. We encourage you to take advantage of these hours to explore the legacy of Claude Monet and treat your senses to a feast of colour and creativity that will live on in your memory.
