About Giverny : Maison Et Jardins de Claude Monet
Add to favoritesA Living Palette in the Heart of Normandy Stepping through the gates of the Giverny estate is like entering a Claude Monet painting. The master of Impressionism lived there for 43 years, shaping his home and gardens into a work of art in their own right. The house, with its pink facade and green shutters, has retained all its period charm: visitors can explore the studio-living room, the famous bright yellow dining room, and the blue Rouen-tiled kitchen. Each room reflects the painter's daily life and his passion for Japanese prints, creating a warm and intensely colorful atmosphere. The exterior is divided into two distinct parts: the Clos Normand, a symmetrical flower garden with metal arches laden with roses, and the Water Garden, located across the road. It was here, around the water lily pond and the famous Japanese bridge, that Monet found the inspiration for his most celebrated series. Among the wisteria, weeping willows and water lilies, the garden offers a spectacle that changes with the seasons and the light, making each visit a unique sensory experience where nature and painting become one.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
To avoid the dense crowds that can sometimes spoil the serenity of the place, try to book your ticket for the first time slot at 9:30 a.m. or, conversely, arrive at the end of the day around 4:30 p.m. If you have the opportunity, opt for a visit in May or June for the spectacular blooming of the wisteria and roses, or in September for the vibrant colors of the nasturtiums. A little tip: once in the Water Garden, don't just stay on the Japanese bridge (which is always crowded with people taking photos), but walk all the way around the pond; the views from the opposite bank are often calmer and truer to the perspectives Monet sought.
