Giverny: Monet's Inspiration

by iamjacksgoat - last update: Jun 17, 2009

Giverny in a Nutshell

Monet's Pond and Garden
Giverny is a small commune in northern France. A beautiful, quant area, Giverny is known best for housing Monet's home and garden. The famous impressionist artist gathered much of his inspiration from this place, noting its natural beauty. I spent a couple hours in Giverny while driving from Paris to Normandie. It was a wonderful place to stop and relax.

What to See and Do describes my favorite parts of Giverny.
It also includes a link to the tip(s) that pertain to the subject.

Favorites, by Alyssa

There isn't much for the tourist to do in Giverny, so my favorites section consists of all that I did.

My Experience?

Giverny is a wonderful place to visit, and I highly recommend it. It is not the kind of place that you would spend a few days at. One day max will let you see everything it has to offer. This way, it is a great place to stop at while on a road trip seeing France. Beware the high prices set for tourists, especially with food and gift shops.
