Welcome to Giverny
An idyllic day-trip destination just 44 miles (70 kilometers) northwest of Paris, the verdant village of Giverny is best known as the former home of Impressionist artist Claude Monet. Those familiar with his paintings, including The Japanese Footbridge and his Water Lilies series, will be delighted to view his real-life inspiration—and soak up the masterpiece-worthy gardens—at the Foundation Claude Monet. Afterwards, a companion visit to the Museum of Impressionism is another one of the top things to do in Giverny.
