Private luxury carWhere Impressionism Was Born
Claude Monet spent 43 years at Giverny, transforming a modest farmhouse and its grounds into the most famous garden in art history. The water garden — with its Japanese bridge, weeping willows and carpets of water lilies — directly inspired more than 250 paintings, including the monumental Nymphéas series now displayed in Paris.
Open from April to November, the garden changes dramatically through the seasons — from spring tulips and irises to summer roses and the autumn glory of the water lilies at peak bloom. Your chauffeur recommends the best time to visit and ensures you arrive when the gardens open to beat the crowds.
