The 10 Best Day Trips from Paris (Updated 2025)

"This picturesque village, about 80 kilometers from Paris, is famous as Claude Monet’s home and garden—the landscapes here practically walk you through scenes from his most famous paintings. I recommend visiting Monet’s house and the art museum and taking a leisurely stroll through the water garden and surrounding grounds; many other Impressionist artists were drawn here as well. Giverny is roughly a 90-minute drive via the A15 or A13, tours with transport and entrance run about 71 EUR, the site (84 Rue Claude Monet) is open April 1–November 1 from 9:30am–6pm (last admission 5:30pm), and adult admission is 12 EUR." - Matthew Kepnes
