We visited on a cloudy day in May, but tulips were blooming, daffodils were almost over, but everywhere there is colour and beauty. It's well worth booking online - no extra charge- to avoid the queue (take your printed ticket to the gate about 30 metres before the main entrance: this takes you directly to the pond). Frogs were at... More

Everything you hoped for! Make time for the impressionist exhibition in the excellent Signac Museum, to.!

Luckily for us we as a family travelled independently and stayed in a nearby B&B. We visited late afternoon in May and by 5pm virtually had the place to ourselves. After a chilly rainy day the late afternoon sun arrived and we saw the gardens at their best bathed in sunlight! To avoid the huge tour groups try to aim... More

Any visit to Claude Monet's garden is a treasure, but I am remembering my visit and wanting to see the roses of every color and variety in full bloom along with the rain drops and sun shine. Take a walk anywhere and feel the shadow of Claude Monet over you. Relish the comfort of plantings tended to look like the... More

Magical place! I don't have enough words to describe this wonderful place. Just 75 Km from Paris. We went in a minibus, with 5 other persons, a 5 hour tour. It cost us 109 euros, per person,including the ticket for entrance. As was a monday afternoon, the place was very calm, not crowded, and we could walk slowly and see... More

The Lilly pad were not quite developed for the season yet but the frogs didnt seem to mind. Monet probably loved gardening as much as... More

It's been raining almost daily in Paris this May and it shows in the absolutely beautiful gardens in Monet's house in Giverny. I had been there years ago and the gardens are always kept wonderfully. Unfortunately, it gets too crowded now. Best to go on a week-day. What a lucky man Monet was to live in such a comfortable looking... More

On a beautiful Spring day my family and I set out by train from central Paris to Vernon, a town very near Giverny to visit Monet's Gardens. After approx 1.5 hours we arrived, and rented bikes from a cafe next to the train station, and rode bikes to Giverny. A beautiful and easy ride of approx 20 mins through scenic... More

I lived in Paris for about a year and, although these gardens were on my "to-do" list, I unfortunately never made the trek. What an idiot I was! But in May I had a long weekend and decided, "Why not?" And these gardens didn't disappoint! They are clean, well-kept, and I think the organization of the house, studio and gardens... More
