Guidekin's take

Two painters in one small-group day: Monet's Giverny gardens and grave, then Auvers-sur-Oise with the fields and inn room where Van Gogh spent his final weeks.

A full-day art pilgrimage most Giverny trips skip half of.

Best for: Add Van Gogh's house in Auvers to Giverny by minivan: entry included, 10h at €220 per person; ages seven up. 4.9 from 432 reviews. Giverny & Monet’s Gardens comparison

Trade-off: Must be able to walk well.

In our comparison: #4 of 69 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Walk in the footsteps of two amazing artists: Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh on this small group day trip from Paris. Discover the unparallelled beauty in the Clos Normand and Japanese Water gardens of Claude Monet, in Giverny. You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into one of his Impressionist paintings as you walk among the willow trees and cross the little green bridge over his pond of water lilies. Then you’ll explore inside of his colorful family home. Visit off-the-beaten-path gems like Monet’s grave in Giverny and the fields Van Gogh Painted in Auvers-sur-Oise.
