La maison et les jardins de Claude Monet à Giverny Percez les secrets d'un des piliers de l'impressionnisme, Claude Monet. Leader du mouvement pictural du XIXe siècle, il a révolutionné l'art représentatif académique en introduisant une perception, une émotion et une lumière renforcées. Le peintre a consacré plus de quarante ans de sa vie à l'un de ses plus beaux chefs-d'œuvre: son jardin à Giverny. Le jardin d'eau Promenez-vous dans le jardin d'eau romantique, avec son célèbre pont japonais, les glycines, l'étang de nénuphars, les saules pleureurs et les iris ... Voici cette image vivante avec son foisonnement de couleurs et de reflets. La maison Visitez la charmante maison rose du maître où règne une atmosphère familiale. Découvrez le quotidien du peintre entouré de huit enfants: le salon, le garde-manger, la chambre à coucher, le bureau, la salle à manger et la belle cuisine ... Admirez sa collection d'estampes japonaises, une autre source d'inspiration. Le studio Terminez votre visite par le grand studio où les célèbres peintures de nénuphars ont vu le jour. Ces peintures sont exposées au musée de l'Orangerie à Paris.
Giverny est un charmant village typiquement normand au bord de la Seine. Il se trouve sur la rive droite ou au nord du fleuve le plus puissant de la Normandie, près de la ville de Vernon. Sans l’arrivée du maître impressionniste Claude Monet en 1883, le village aurait pu rester un marigot provincial tranquille. Les longues années passées par Monet en feraient un lieu de pèlerinage artistique, même de son vivant.
Le château de Versailles, ou « Château de Versailles », est l’un des monuments les plus emblématiques de France et classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Construit à l'origine comme pavillon de chasse pour Louis XIII, il fut transformé par Louis XIV en résidence royale de la cour Française en 1682. Découvrez la grande architecture du palais, les appartements royaux et la célèbre Galerie des Glaces, réputée pour ses 357 miroirs, ses décorations dorées et les reflets des jardins. Explorez les appartements du roi et de la reine, autrefois utilisés pour les cérémonies officielles et la vie à la cour, richement décorés de marbre et de plafonds peints. Conçus par André Le Nôtre en 1661, les jardins de Versailles présentent des allées élégantes, des fontaines, des étangs et des sculptures, ce qui en fait un chef-d'œuvre de la conception formelle Française des jardins. En été, les visiteurs peuvent également profiter des jardins musicaux et des spectacles de fontaines.
Notre guide expert vous permettra de voir la meilleure partie des jardins. En 1661, Louis XIV chargea André Le Nôtre de créer les jardins de Versailles. La création de jardins nécessite un travail gigantesque d'une quarantaine d'années: nivellement d'espaces, aménagement paysager de jardins, création d'étangs et du canal. Louis XIV considérait les jardins comme important que le château. André Le Nôtre a créé un jardin à la française par excellence: une terrasse avec une vue globale sur les jardins, une organisation géométrique des axes, des étangs, des parterres de fleurs, des bosquets. Le jardin est conçu comme un bâtiment, une promenade jouant sur les perspectives. Charles Le Brun a dessiné un grand nombre de statues et de fontaines. Les 221 sculptures font de Versailles le plus grand musée de sculptures en plein air au monde. Des fontaines et des bosquets ornent les jardins. Les bosquets ont régulièrement accueilli la promenade du roi et les divertissements de la cour. Appréciez une promenade dans les jardins de Le Nôtre. Chaque été, Versailles propose de superbes animations dans les jardins pour donner aux visiteurs l'expérience de la magnificence des célébrations dans le jardin à l'époque de Louis XIV. Votre guide vous proposera une visite des jardins musicaux (mardi de juin à octobre) et du spectacle des fontaines musicales (les samedis et les dimanches d’avril à octobre).

If someone uses a wheelchair having a private guided tour makes this experience so much better. We could not have navigated these sites on our own. It was a wonderfull experience.
This was very unprofessional experience. Please do not use this company for your tour. There is no such thing as skip the lines at Giverny, it’s a scam. Our driver, while very nice showed up late, had no water in the van for an hour and quarter drive. He left us and told us to meet him at the exit and didn’t give a number to contact him, needless to say, we waited over 10 min for him at the exit we knew. Really awful We have 2 kids and a 76 year old woman with us. The woman Sarah at the this company is combative and rude, 0 customer service. Spend you thousands of dollars w a reputable company. Really no excuse to spend 2k on a tour that is like this w the worst customer Service.
Dear Madam, We’re truly sorry your day didn’t meet your expectations. It’s always frustrating not to enjoy a beautiful place like Giverny—especially when the frustration seems to begin before even stepping into the van. Let us gently correct a few points: - Our guide was less than five minutes late, which in Paris traffic is practically early. - Fresh water was offered and declined. Perhaps hydration might have helped the mood? - Yes, there is such a thing as skip-the-line access at Giverny—for entry, not for the exit. (We’re still working on helicopter service for that part.) - The driver clearly explained the meeting point for pick-up. A 10-minute wait in a garden, while not ideal, isn’t exactly a crisis—even with kids and a 76-year-old. As for being called "combative and rude"—well, I will always stand up for my team, especially when they’re being treated disrespectfully. A poor review may be intended as leverage for a refund, but unfortunately, that's not how we operate. We love what we do, and our many happy clients reflect that. But of course, it’s hard to please someone who brings their frustration along as carry-on luggage. Wishing you calmer travels ahead,
we were picked up by our guide, Jean-Paul, conveniently right outside our flat in the 9th arrondissement. We drove to Giverny first, and he took us around the gardens, the house, and even did thoughtful things like move the car throughout the day so that we watch part of the way, but then the car would be waiting for us. He was so knowledgeable about the history, the artist that we saw, they connected things to modern day, Paris. He was very responsive and engaging with our children as well. We had a lovely crêpe lunch, and then headed to the Versailles Gardens, to include the hamlet that Marie Antoinette designed, and lastly, the palace. I'm so grateful we booked this tour!
Dear Erin, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable day with Jean-Paul, and that both the adults and children in your group felt engaged and well cared for throughout the tour. At our company, we take great pride in working exclusively with guides conférenciers—certified tour guides who are the only professionals authorized to provide commentary inside France’s historical monuments, such as Versailles and Giverny. Their deep knowledge and passion for art, history, and culture ensure a rich and insightful experience for our guests, just as you described. We’re especially pleased that Jean-Paul’s attention to detail, storytelling, and flexibility helped make your day so smooth and enjoyable. Thank you again for choosing to explore with us—we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future! Warm regards,
If you make reservations with other people make sure you pay together. We made the reservations on the phone but gave 2 different credit cards and told them we wanted to be together in the same car. That day they put us in different cars. The poor tour guide didn’t know what to do. He tried to call his office with no answer. We call Viator but took a while to get anyone but then my husband was able to chat via text. He was told it was basically our fault due to not paying together even though we booked the tour by phone and was assured that there will not be a problem. It all worked out at the end due to a wonderful tour guide. It was just very stressful. We have used Viator many times and this has never happened. Hopefully it will never happen again.
Dear Victoria, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry for the confusion and the stress it caused at the start of your tour. We completely understand how important it was for you to be in the same vehicle, especially when traveling with friends or family. In this case, two separate bookings were made with different payment details, and we did not receive any indication prior to the tour that you wished to be grouped together. Had we been informed during the booking process, we would have arranged it without hesitation. That said, we’re very glad that our team—and especially your guide—was able to quickly adapt and ensure that you could continue the day together. We’re proud of our guides, who always do their utmost to create a seamless and enjoyable experience, even in unexpected situations. We appreciate your feedback and your continued trust, and we hope to welcome you again in the future under smoother circumstances. Warm regards,
Would not recommend due to the fact that we did not get quicker access compared to small groups tours. Touring was conducted with the rest of the crowd of tourists. There was no special access except for entry. Tour is set by the guides pace, which is not enjoyable in a hot and crowded environment. The guide was knowledgeable, but I don’t feel it was at all worth the money.
Dear Robbyn, A few clarifications to be completely fair. For some reason, you booked two tours for two people instead of one tour for four. Your mistake resulted in an additional cost. The correct combination would have been a private group of four. What's the difference between a private tour and a small group? - A single hotel pick-up instead of three different pickups throughout Paris - A dedicated tour guide who adapts the tour to your family, your timing - A dedicated entrance to Giverny (without skipping the line, sometimes a 2-hour wait) - A special access to Versailles (without a tour guide, sometimes a 3-hour wait) These time savings may not have been apparent to you, but they are invaluable for a better experience everywhere. Regards
Our driver/ guide was extremely knowledgeable and truly made our day memorable. Worth every penny as the guided tour provides many facts that you would never know.
Worth a day! So much to see and learn! Our guide was fantastic and even suggested a great place to stop for lunch! Enjoyable even during the rain!
Our guide, Jean Paul, was outstanding! He was knowledgeable on so many topics. He was able to bring life to the characters, sharing information gleaned from archival sources as well as palace gossip. His English is excellent. We also appreciated his willingness to stay longer when we were deeply engaged and to move quickly through areas of less interest. He is very easy to be with and possesses a nice sense of humor. The sights themselves were everything you might imagine, and then some. We would highly recommend this tour.
We had originally booked a private 9 person tour to Versailles and Giverny that dwindled down to 2 people. We paid upwards of flight tickets for two from US to Europe for those tours. In return we got a driver who barely spoke English. At Versailles we were linked with another couple for the tour. Needless to say, we could’ve rented a car and driven ourselves to these locations and had more freedom than be rushed. It was highly disappointing tour. We did not get a tour guide at all. I do not recommend this company at all. Be aware!
Gilles is a Great Tour conductor very knowledgeable and great at his work. I did enjoyed all the tour with his help thanks
