A very special place to visit to see the work of this great painter. The garden is well laid out and signposted. Lots of photo opportunities as well as time to reflect on the beauty of the planting. The house is a bonus to see how Monet lived, his work, the amazing views of the garden from the house. Timed tickets. Spend about 3 hours. The gift shop is good value and there is something for everyone in terms of price options. Places to eat and drink in the village. Parking is well organised. Couldn’t give 5 stars as staff made us wait an hour in the sun due to staffing issues with no regard to the bill elderly members of the group.

This was my second time to Giverny. (The first was 30 years ago.) No surprise, the gardens were beautiful, the pond was beautiful, the flowers up close were beautiful BUT - and this is a big BUT - the crowds were too much, in both the house and the gardens. It was honestly stressful to try to walk along the paths because there were so many people crammed onto the grounds. I’m used to going to gardens to be reflective and to enjoy the experience. The crowds made it unpleasant (And this was a Monday. Imagine what it would be like on the weekend!) That’s why I gave the Monet house three stars instead of five. I have no desire to go back, no matter how pretty my pictures turned out. I actually felt anxiety amidst the crowds. I’d like to make a recommendation to the Foundation, if that doesn’t seem to pompous: please only allow a certain number of people on the grounds every day. Charge a little more to make up for what you might lose in ticket sales. But please reduce the number of people – and regulate (stagger) the times so that the there are not thousands of people, trying to navigate a place that is supposed to be tranquil and contemplative. (In my photos, I waited for people to pass – so you can’t see the crowds - but trust me, they were there!)

Beautiful, one of a kind place. It makes one wonder if Monet was more of a gardener than a painter. Once on site, it was easy to see where he got his inspiration. Beware, get there early as it gets overwhelmingly crowded.

We drove easily from Paris to Giverny and parked on the free Verger’s parking lot. 13:30 was perfect for us to visit the house and the gardens. Worth the drive and the wait (line) to discover beautiful paintings of him especially when you can get up close !

The house and the gardens were absolutely a delight to watch. I went in June and I believe it's the perfect time to visit, because it was already spring and just the start of summer, hence it was full of blossomed flowers and not very crowded.

The house and garden where Monet spent his final years and painted some of his most famous pieces such as the water lilies or the bridge. An interesting visit and a good source of inspiration for artists. The village of Giverny itself is also quite cute despite the "tourist effect"

VERY NEAT FOR A MONET FAN. This was a great detour on our way to Normandy. Parking is challenging though if you wait king enough someone leaves. When we came there was also a market (Sunday morning) so that made parking even more difficult. We did not have advance tickets and only waited in line for 5 mins to purchase. The gardens and ponds are amazing. The flowers are incredible. The house is really neat as It has his first studio with replica paintings. The feel of the gardens shows how one of the great impressionists could be motivated to paint. It was beautiful.

Highlight of my recent Paris trip! Quite straightforward reaching this place (by train and then shuttle bus; signs are very clear once you reach Vernon). My recommendation is plan the trip yourself but buy entry tickets in advance. Spent about 3 hours here. Loved browsing the shop too. Even though it was crowded - I came in summer, there are little pockets of quiet where you can sit around and just soak in the atmosphere of this beauty of a place.

Possible the most beautiful garden in the world! I dreamt of this place for years before visiting. After finding a book about Monet’s garden several years earlier this place had been in my bucket list until I finally had the time to visit during a trip to Paris in 2023. I travelled from Paris as part of a coach tour and spent the entire day in Giverny. It was a rainy day, but did not take away from the magic of the experience. 8 full time staff tend the garden and the tulip beds are certainly a highlight. Although the water lilies were not in bloom during my visit, the lily pond was still amazing to behold. The Japanese bridges hold so much history and are iconic scenes. I brought my watercolours to paint while attending. Would definitely recommend taking a day to visit by train or tour coach.

Beautiful place. A must on your list. An hour outside of Paris. It is less expensive to Uber if you have 6+ people.

Wonderful and moving experience. The home is charming and loaded with art (not Monet's but special nevertheless), photos, and furnishings to recreate how Monet lived in a key mature part of his artistic life and after achieving rare "success while still living". Although the gardens have been replaced, they did so with the greatest effort to make it exactly as it was. The garden is absolutely lovely as well as the pond where waterlilies and other masterpieces were painted. The village is lovely as well. Great experience.

Wonderful gardens but so very busy! Line at 30 min after opening was 2.5h long. Even longer when we were leaving. I'm thinking, get there an hour before opening (09:30 for our visit). Japanese garden is certainly the highlight. Very beautiful.

Stunning and worth visiting early in the day. Visit through Monet's house before the gardens to avoid the crowds. The e-ticket was poorly signposted if you catch the shuttle bus from Vernon Gare, it's actually the Group-entry gate near the underwater, rather than the main entrance up near the gift-shop.

Beautiful gardens. Visited in August 2023. Many flowers in bloom. Visited the house. Couldn't really take your time in the house due to the number of visitors. Arrived for opening 9.30am. Well worth the time here

If you love art and nature/garden, you should visit this place during Spring! To get there, you could take the TER (train) and then you will get a shuttle bus from the station to the location. Once you reach there, you will have to walk for like 5 minutes to reach the garden. If you are hungry or want to take something quick, there are a few restaurants and takeaway places outside of the garden. Keep in mind that if the ticket is single entry, you cannot exit the place and come back, in case you gets hungry! ;) So the place, I really loved the garden, which was peaceful and beautiful at the same time. I spent quite sometime in the garden before entering to the Monet’s house. The house is filled with his and many other artists works, which are amazing. Also, do lots of forget to go to the other side of the garden where you could find small water canal and a pond. I spent almost 2-3 hours there and then grabbed a small sandwich from one of the takeaway shops after exiting from the place. Also, one more suggestion, try to go in the morning time slot, something near 10:30 a.m. for a better experience. I will highly recommend you to visit this amazing place at least one time!

This place is absolutely magical! If you are anywhere near here - within 100 miles - then go!!! Book online before going just in case there’s a queue or it is full. There is so much to see and explore and just get lost in the gardens. We went in summer and it was simply amazing. There were some crowds but it didn’t feel crowded at all. Park at the lot just opposite - plenty of spaces. Could have spent the whole day there but settled for 4 hours in the afternoon.

It was a very beautiful place. I visited in mid-October and it was wonderful. It was not crowded and I didn't have to wait in line, so it was comfortable. I think it might be crowded in spring, but I would like to visit in each season. I am truly grateful for preserving and sharing such a wonderful place.

Words & photos don’t do Monet’s Garden justice. Beautiful/ Serene / Peaceful start to describe the setting Small town with good restaurants well equipped to handle the crowds. Strongly suggest you visit this treasure #travel #France #tourist #Monet

The Fondation Monet is a must-visit for any fan of Impressionist art. The house and gardens are beautifully preserved, and it is easy to see why Monet was inspired by them. The gardens are especially stunning in the spring and summer, when the flowers are in bloom. I would recommend visiting early in the day to avoid the crowds. The staff at the Fondation Monet are friendly and helpful. They were happy to answer our questions about Monet and his work. We also enjoyed the guided tour, which gave us a deeper understanding of the gardens. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the Fondation Monet. It is a truly special place that everyone should visit at least once

It was an incredible time at the Monet Gardens and house. We did this as a cruise ship excursion and while it made for a long day it was so worthwhile. Even in Mid-October there were still flowers blooming. We enjoyed wandering through the grounds and touring the house.

Worth the visit. Its a small place (house and garden) but the flowers and the paintings in the house are so, so beautiful. You probably will spend maybe 3 hours max. Can have a lot of visitors, so need to be patient when taking pics. Also, the shop at the end is super interesting! Couldn't resist to buy something!!

I would highly recommend starting the tour here at the museum before Monet’s house and garden. It is such an artist heaven. With the exhibition there is plenty background info to help ground your visit to the rest of sights. You will appreciate monet’s waterlily pond ans his lush garden so much more. Tucked in Giverny, the secluded scenery is perfect in spring time. Flowers and bushes are lush and vibrant. The amazing feel of walking through the Japanese bridge in Monet’s paintings draped with aromatic flowers is hard to describe in words. You will just have to be there to experience. The place does get crowded with tourist groups, so early the day seems to be better. Happy travel

Inside is a beautiful restaurante with garden view. Good french onion soup.

Gorgeous gardens with a great impressionist collection.

If we saw 2 actually impressionist paintings there it is too much. There was only a temporary exhibition and it was quite small, in about 20 minutes we were finished with this museum. Not worth the money.

Soooo happy to visit here finally. The flower power exhibition is brilliant. We thought there may have been a permanent exhibition but there wasn't. I was so pleased to see the beautifully curated works of art, and learned a lot about new artists. Really good.

It is just O.K. Their permanent art is a bit underwhelming. Maybe some temporary exhibitions - like Renoir one - can make an impression better. But, there are way better museums for that price or even free ones.

I recommend visiting! It’s a small museum separated in 3 sections, but the works are worth looking at. I think they overcharge the ticket for a small museum..

I have seen many visitors confuse this museum with Monet's house. The Monet’s house where famous for its garden is located 200m to the east from this museum.

We went in the winter when it was closed. So not it's best season. Still a nice stop. Restaurant was tasty but simple food.

A beautiful church where the monet family tomb sits just outside. The church itself is lovely, with some medieval ceiling painting . Music of momks chanting plays in the background adding atmosphere . The windows, although fairly modern in design are simple and beautiful. Outside there is also the tombs of 7 airmen who died in a lancaster crash in June 1944. The church is about 15 mins walk from monets garden and we'll signposted.

Very old and beautiful church.

A beautiful Romanesque church in Giverny that although damaged in World War II and restored is quite interesting. The Monet family is buried in the adjacent cemetery as well as a British bomber crew shot down nearby during the war. Well worth the visit and just down the road from Monet's home.

I love old European churches. Whenever I get a chance, I visit them and light a candle and pray for my family and friends back home. And I'm not Catholic...

Lancaster crew buried in the church yard, and a memorial to them, oh yes Claude Monet is buried there too.

Quaint little church were Claude Monet and several of his family are buried.

Lovely inspiring church

Big collection of the very first machines which witnessed the industrial revolution

Really great place where you can see sizable engine. All of them in working state. Entrance is free and you can leave something to your liking. Passionate people do great things. I say this is a must see when you come to Giverny.

A culmination of sheer passion, commitment and dedication towards restoration and in the process, for creating legacy of exquisite collection of mechanical engineering ! A rare and great collection for engineering minds ! Bonne Continuation !

Very interesting and nice museum. We enjoyed the exhibition and hospitality. Recommended!!

A good collection of historic steam and internal combustion engines. All are in working order, kept working by a few keen volunteers.

For anyone who is interested in old steam and Diesel engines, this is the place to go. The history in this place is amazing, don’t miss it.

Very interesting museum, the proprietor is lovely and has been collecting the engines for 50 years.
