Visit Monet’s gardens first: The Clos-Normand was modelled after Monet’s own artistic vision when he settled in Giverny. He spent years transforming the garden into a living en plein air painting, planting thousands of flowers in straight-lined patterns.

– Monet’s house is a charming pink-colored building with green shutters, surrounded by lush gardens. The exterior itself is picturesque and reflects the artist’s love for colors.
– Monet’s gardens are a highlight of the visit. Divided into two main parts, the Clos Normand near the house is a formal garden with flower beds, while the Water Garden, on the other side of the road, features the famous Japanese bridge and the water lilies that inspired many of Monet’s paintings.
Inside Monet’s house, you can explore various rooms, including the artist’s studio, bedrooms, and living spaces. The interior is decorated in a style typical of the late 19th to early 20th centuries, offering a glimpse into Monet’s personal life.

Monet’s Studio is a particularly interesting part of the tour, showcasing the artist’s tools, palettes, and the atmosphere in which he created many of his masterpieces.

Monet’s house features a collection of Japanese prints, which had a significant influence on his work.

Begin your walking tour at the magnificent Cathedral Notre-Dame de Rouen, a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture. Admire the intricate facade (painte dby Monet), the stunning stained glass windows, and the powerful presence of this historic cathedral.

Head towards the Old Market Square, a lively and historic area. This square is known for its half-timbered houses and the Church of Saint Joan of Arc. The latter is dedicated to the city’s most famous historical figure, Joan of Arc, who was burned at the stake in Rouen in 1431.

Walk to the Gros-Horloge, a beautiful astronomical clock dating back to the 14th century.

See the Parliament of Normandy, an impressive Gothic building that served as the seat of the Parliament of Normandy during the Ancien Régime.

Stroll along Rue du Gros-Horloge, a vibrant shopping street lined with shops, cafes, and boutiques. It’s a great place to explore and perhaps find some local souvenirs.
