About Monet’s House & Garden

More than just a home, Monet’s house in Giverny was his studio, sanctuary, and greatest inspiration. With its vibrant flowerbeds and dreamy lily pond, what draws visitors back year after year? Let’s take a look.

Did you know?

Did you know Monet diverted the Epte River to create his iconic water garden? The pond, filled with water lilies and reflections, was man-made—and became the subject of many of his most famous paintings.

Ever heard of Monet’s “little blue lounge”? This striking room inside his house is painted entirely in blue and decorated with 231 Japanese woodblock prints that heavily influenced his art.

Monet’s first studio was once a barn! He converted it into a workspace with wooden floors and stairs. Today, it’s restored with 80% original furniture and reproductions of 60 of his paintings.

This tour was both special & unexpected! We thought we were going to be taken straight into the house and gardens but no, we were taken round the village, to the church and told all about Monet's life, his family, how he bought the house and so on. The tour guide was funny and engaging and obviously took a great deal of pleasure in her tour groups. The only downside was by the time we got inside the gardens we were in need of coffee and a sit down. Our guide had indeed asked if we wanted to get a coffee but we didn't wish to stop the tour and had no idea if we were allowed to take drinks inside - we should've asked more questions! Many thanks to Marianne for a super tour (apologies if name is spelt wrongly) Unfortunately my husband could not get any reception on his phone but has agreed with all the above and would love to return. Well done - good job.
