Giverny Walking Tour
Giverny, France
Why Walk Giverny
Monet lived and painted at Giverny for 43 years until his death in 1926. He designed the gardens himself — the Clos Normand flower garden bursting with color and the Japanese-inspired water garden with its famous lily pond and green bridge. Walking through Giverny is like stepping inside an Impressionist painting.
