Fantastic place well worth seeing, had a such a fantastic day:))) would recomend to everyone. You have fantastic gardens to see over there with those famous popy fields and watter lilies as well as gorgeous house of Monet.

It was raining – gently, but steadily -- when we visited these gardens. This made photography very challenging, and I didn’t get photos of the quality I had hoped for. Nevertheless, the rain didn’t dampen our enthusiasm. We could see Monet’s artistic eye everywhere we looked, and this place is beautiful in any weather.I should have worn a hooded rain jacket instead of using an umbrella. Umbrellas are just too unwieldy in this environment. Anyway, I want both hands free when I’m using my camera.

One would think that a number of Monet's works would be available to view in a museum within a couple of blocks of his historic home. NOT SO. There were only 2 of his works in the gallery. The balance of the galleries had displays of impressionist painters. But, the museum is not all that large.Unless you are a real impressionist student or lover, you might find a better place to spend your time while in the area.

i loved the history of a great artist,as well the many different gardens,the lily ponds. Also enjoyed the home where he lived. This was one of the highlights of my vacation. I did not dislike anything.

To walk the paths around the water features brings Monet's vision to life. While there were crowds, they tended to congregate in just a few areas, leaving the majority of the paths to ourselves. To view the pond through the hanging branches of the large willow tree is like looking back in time.

Everything was wonderful. We loved everything about the gardens and the house. Since 500,000 people visit a year I guess their a reason. It is so beautiful

This review should, ideally be read alongside my review of Monet's House & Garden, where I am critical of the ticketting & guiding system.We reached this garden through a drab underpass beneath the road that separates it from the House. The paths are fairly narrow and the crowds at 1030hrs were already fairly congested. This meant progress was fairly stop/start. However this is being slightly picky for what is a very beautiful layout of flora surrounding the famous pond (it is a large pond and too small to call a lake in my opinion). But someone with either a baby buggy or wheelchair may find this hard work as the paths are uneven.One progresses around the pond along paths stopping whenever someone in front wants to take a picture. Major congestion is met when one reaches either side of the bridge, because everybody is wanting to either have their picture taken or take a picture from this point, understandably. A nice touch is there are a few benches to sit and ponder the passing humanity and the water and flora.Above the sound of appreciative visitors could be heard the extraordinarily loud and very distinct noise of the large frogs in the pond going about their mating ritual totally undisturbed.Would we go to either of these places again in spite of any problems...definitely worth revisiting.

Has visiting exhibitions, was Belgian impressionists when we went. No entrance fee on the 1st Sunday in the month!!! Only 3 euros for a very good audio guide which also covered the Monet Section of the museum. Has it's own little garden in front which was interesting too.

This palce is so incredible! We took the train from Paris and it was worth while. This is a serene and wonderful place. The staff is freindly and helpful. You should know enough french to communicate with train station staff as in my personal experience not all ticket sellers speack english. Beware of the bus drivers from the train station to the foundation (15 min ride), as they are not always polite and helpful, but rather mean and very rude. Only place in France where I encoutered a rude french person. If you purchase tickes in advance (online), you will avoid the line. Take your camera as you will be able to take memorable pictures here. Absolutely wonderful! There are plenty of places to eat around the area. Enjoy!!!

We took the morning train from Gare-St-Lazare to Vernon Station,only 45 minutes,from where a shuttle bus delivers you to Giverny. The carpark, one of five, removes any allusion about sharing this quiet hamlet by yourself. Sixteen,giant tourist- transporters have already disgorged their occupants.....oohhh,what the hell,you are here,are you not?.......yes,it is a very popular spot! This is the home of the brilliant innovator Monet who excelled at presenting the effect of light at different times of the day. His paintings of the Rouen Cathedral and the Water Lilies are just a few of his masterpieces. Unfortunately,you wont find any original Monet paintings here.However,his house and famous gardens are open to view. The house,itself is not overwhelming, but contains his collections of 18th and 19th century prints and furnishings....pleasant,but not the Monet you seek!! Through the windows you spy glimpses of his wonderfully colorful garden. Step,outside the house and wander through the magic that creative greenery offers. Thousands of flowers greet you as you stroll , meander and stoop ,to examine these wonderful specimens. But,its when you reach 'the bridge' that your heart flutters, because this is the holy grail for the settings that formed the series of water lilies. Beautiful and spiritual, in many ways ,even on a cloudy and rainy day. As you enjoy and exhilarate at the beauty of wispy trees around the bridge. try to envisage all those art books that drew you here. Incomparable!! Its all here.The red bridge,hung with wisteria,leads to a setting of weeping willows and rhododendrons. If this does not move you...you must be constipated. wander around the pretty village with every house sharing a preplanned color scheme. Very pleasant. So the important Question now, is where to ingest food,because art and jardins create cravings. Give the local tourist- trap eateries the flick, and head back into town,where near the church you will find, L'esquisse Gourmande....a tea salon and restaurant. Read my review in the restaurant section. Bon appetite.
