Wonderful day trip with insights into Monet and Van Gogh
We loved our trip to Giverny and Auvers-sur-Oise, and learning more about Monet and Van Gogh. The tour started on time (note: La Flamme has coffee and croissants!), in a nice comfortable van. The trip went very smoothly. Our guide Olivier was intelligent, informed and entertaining!

People Also Ask
Q:Is it worth visiting Giverny?
A:Yes, it is worth visiting Giverny. The Normandy village's best-known landmark is Fondation Claude Monet, where the impressionist artist lived and worked. Visitors can explore his house and gardens and perhaps recognize scenery from his paintings. Giverny is also home to the Museum of Impressionisms (Musée des Impressionnismes).
Q:How long is the Giverny tour?
A:That depends. Tours of Giverny can range from 1.5 hours up to a full day, depending on the type you choose. Full-day tours typically involve round-trip transit from Paris, by car or by train, and may also stop at nearby attractions like Versailles. Shorter tours begin directly in Giverny.
Q:What is the best month to visit Giverny?
A:Spring is the best time to visit Giverny. It's when the gardens at the Fondation Claude Monet will be in full bloom, and you can admire the water lilies and many other blossoms that Monet immortalized in his canvases. Alternatively, explore in fall to see the gardens with vibrant foliage.
Q:Do I need to buy tickets in advance for Giverny?
A:If you are visiting the Fondation Claude Monet, you should book your tickets ahead. This busy destination's ticket office is often closed, and the landmark requires advance purchases. It's also a good idea to book Giverny sightseeing tours in advance, as they can be popular in spring and summer.
Q:How much time do you need at Giverny?
A:It's wise to set aside at least half a day to explore Giverny—especially if you want to visit multiple sights in one day. Tours of Fondation Claude Monet typically last several hours, and additional time is needed to see the Museum of Impressionisms (Musée des Impressionnismes) and for round-trip travel.
Q:What is the best time of day to visit Giverny?
A:If you want to see the Fondation Claude Monet before the crowds set in, arrive right when it opens in the morning. Arriving early also means you'll have the maximum amount of time to see the rest of the village, and the Museum of Impressionisms (Musée des Impressionnismes).
