Giverny

Everyone has heard of Giverny ! The world-famous village in the Eure region of Normandy, less than an hour from Paris, is an absolute must to visit !
Situated on the right bank of the Seine, Giverny is famous around the world thanks to the paintings of Claude Monet who lived there for over 40 years. Just like Monet back in the day, you simply have to stop and gaze at the water garden with its Japanese bridge and water lilies which provided inspiration for two of the artist’s best-known paintings. The presence of the painter at Giverny attracted many other artists of different nationalities who also contributed towards making the place into a particularly emblematic site. The Musée des Impressionnismes, which highlights the heyday of the Impressionist movement, also helped to put Giverny on the map as a major international tourist attraction.
Whether you are with a partner, family or friends, it is impossible not to stop at his village of timeless charm and in comparable cultural heritage !
Start discovering Giverny by visiting the village
The village has retained all the charm, character and authenticity from the time of the Impressionists. Wisteria and Virginia creeper adorn colourful houses in the flower-bedecked streets and alleyways, along with art galleries, artists’ studios and craft workshops. Don’t forget to stop at the former Hôtel Baudy, a place steeped in history once frequented by numerous artists like Cézanne, Renoir, Sisley, Rodin and Mary Cassatt and now a restaurant and museum where time has stood still !
