Claude Monet's House and Gardens in Giverny: Tickets, Opening Hours and How to Get There from Paris

Claude Monet's house and gardens in Giverny, in the Eure department, are open every day from 1 April to 1 November 2026, from 10am to 6pm (last admission 5:30pm). An adult ticket costs €13 and the visit takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Claude Monet lived in this Normandy village, about 75 km west of Paris, for more than forty years and painted his Water Lilies series here. From Paris Saint-Lazare, the train reaches Vernon-Giverny in under an hour, and a seasonal shuttle then serves the village. To compare the train with a guided excursion, see our dedicated guide.

Highlights

Monet's house

The artist's home is visited in its original decor. It is the starting point of the visit, before you head down to the gardens.

The water garden

The water lily pond, lined with weeping willows, inspired the famous Water Lilies series. The water garden is reached from the garden of the house.

The Japanese bridge

It spans the pond of the water garden, among the water lilies and greenery. It is one of the motifs Monet painted many times.

The Clos Normand

The flower garden stretching in front of the house is at its best in May and June, at the height of the bloom.
