"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
