Why Giverny matters

Giverny is a quiet village on the Seine valley that became world famous because Claude Monet settled here. His house and gardens are the draw, but the village itself, with its flower-lined lanes, makes a pleasant stop. It is an easy day trip from Paris.

Talking points

  • Monet lived here for decades.
  • It is a day trip from Paris by train and shuttle.
  • Spring and early summer are the prettiest.
