Giverny Gallery

Visiting Giverny Gardens in mid-September, I thought the flowers might be fading — but nope, it was still a full-on explosion of color. The little houses are straight out of a storybook, and the pond with the water lilies is literally the pond from Monet’s paintings. It’s one of those places that makes you stop every two steps to take another photo. Absolutely magical.

Visited the Claude Monet gardens and house, if you like gardens this place was fantastic. Very very busy, so did not see much of the house. Well worth the visit, but, plan well ahead to try and avoid the crowds. Couple of cafes along the way. A fab day out.

One of the best experiences in my life. The gardens were just absolutely stunning and I loved being able to dwell through his home. Such a mensch! Such an artist! And what a privilege to travel back in time and get a glimpse of what life was like for this incredible visionary. I would definitely want to get back again. Do buy your tickets beforehand! They do very good crowd control. We wandered through the magnificent rose garden but I was particularly stunned by the beauty of the many varieties of poppies! An absolute must see. The waterlilies were not in bloom when I was there yet one could visualise Monet painting them there, showing off their dainty beauty on the cobbling water in the pond with the green bridge in the background. Oh Monet!

My photos look like a Monet painting! Monet was quite the gardener I loved going to the house and the whole experience. We rode bikes there and it all felt so “villagey.” The gift shop was really crowded, but it has so many beautiful things.

The gardens are pretty, but there’s experience goes downhill with the over booking of the tickets. Giverny’s supposed to feel like stepping into a painting, not dodging elbows and overheard chatter. Paying to be in a queue more than looking around makes no sense, there’s a lot of pretty gardens to go to.

I loved seeing his gardens. Very beautiful. It was fascinating to see how this place influenced the works of art he created.

It’s one of the most beautiful places to be in the north of France. Villages close by too provide you with their mesmerising charms. Best visited, mid of April, as the garden is on its peak of blossoms. ❤️❤️❤️

What an absolutely amazing and beautiful place to visit. Monet home and gardens are breathtaking. Prepare in advance with tickets lines can be very long.
