We work with the Claude Monet Foundation and have the right to use the special group entrance where you'll get inside the garden right away.
Stop atThe Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet
There are two distinct gardens on Claude Monet's property. The lovely Clos Normand has hundreds of types of flowers in bloom throughout the spring, summer, and fall. You'll for sure recognize the bold purple Iris' lined pathways and the spicy, orange and yellow Capucines that climb on the arches just in front of his pink house with green shutters.

We did a morning tour with Philippe. The tour was amazing. We did not want to leave. Philippe was very knowledgeable on the artist and the location. Thoroughly recommend this tour. Our favourite day of our trip so far!
A great tour of Claude Monet’s house and gardens
Ronald B, Dec 2024
This was an excellent tour. Our guide was right on time and the vehicle was new, clean and comfortable. Monet’s Gardens and home were beautiful. What made the tour very special was our guide Philippe. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Monet and well versed on the progression of the global art scene and the role that Claude Monet has in developing Impressionism and the differences between that and previous schools of art. He also explained how the impressionist movement led to subsequent art forms. Philipe was not only knowledgeable, he was polite, friendly, professional and a very good driver. I will be recommending this tour to anyone visiting Paris. Thank you for a great day
Insightful visit

Easy pick up point, comfortable air-conditioned minibus. Driver had umbrellas which were very useful as it did rain. The grave was nice to see and to hear the life story of Claude Monet. Really enjoyed the house and gardens, although I felt a bit rushed in the gardens to have time to see the house. Overall I really enjoyed the tour.
Wonderful visit to gardens with awesome tour guide , Brune
deboranally, Dec 2024
Bruñe ( from Brie) was knowledgeable, personable, patient and so professional. She gave us background info on both Monet and Normandy. When one of the woman on the tour was cold, Brune offered her own jacket to her. She went out of her way to make it an enjoyable outing to a lovely area. Would highly recommend this tour- and Brune as a guide.
Rainy Day with the Water Lillies Great Experience
ChipGr, Dec 2024
Felipe was the perfect guide for this tour. Not only was he prepared with umbrellas when the rain came, but he found a niche in the chapel with a story about the burial of Monet. Amazing. Felipe's knowledge of the art and craft of painting, his familiarity with the house and gardens combined with his sense of humor made the day a total joy! The tour through Monet's house was challenging because of the long line, but it did move fast. The Gardens were beautiful and you could really see Monet's inspiration. We all left with a much better understanding and respect for Monet. Strongly recommend, particularly if Felipe is your guide.
