Departing from the harbour of Le Havre, your live guide will greet you and seat you in an air-conditioned van for a journey of approximately 1.5 hours through the Normandy countryside. During the journey, they will tell you about the life of Claude Monet and the beginnings of Impressionism to prepare you for your visit.
Upon arrival in Giverny, your first immersion is in Monet's house: the blue living room, the studio, the yellow dining room, and the spectacular collection of Japanese prints come to life thanks to the live guide's explanations. You then pass through the flower gardens: a bed of tulips or dahlias depending on the season, a central path with explosive colours, then the iconic lily pond and its Japanese bridge, photographed from all angles.
After this sensory immersion, you'll have free time for lunch or coffee in the village's flower-filled streets. Your live guide then joins you at the Musée des Impressionnismes for a narrated tour of the temporary exhibitions (Monet, Renoir, Berthe Morisot, etc.) and the permanent works that place Giverny in the artistic context of the late 19th century.
Before leaving, you will have the opportunity to stroll through the artisan shops, taste a Normandy cider, or photograph the stone houses covered with hollyhocks. Comfortable drop-off in Le Havre in the late afternoon, with bucolic souvenirs and unique anecdotes.
