Giverny in bloom: the Maison de Monet reopens its doors

Where to stroll in springtime less than 100 km from Paris? Giverny stands out as one of the most poetic of escapes. From April 1, 2025, Claude Monet’s famous house and its enchanting gardens will be open to the public once again.

Nestled in the Eure region, this charmingly picturesque residence is a place of pilgrimage for all art and nature lovers. Claude Monet, the emblematic figure of Impressionism, lived here from 1883 to 1926, creating a veritable floral theater around him. Its water garden, water lilies, tulips and roses as far as the eye can see, and its Japanese bridge, inspired some of his most famous masterpieces.

As soon as the warm weather returns, Giverny comes to life. The pink house with its green shutters, the artist’s studio, the flowery paths… everything exudes the delicacy of another time. More than a visit, it’s a journey into the master’s universe, a total immersion in his sources of inspiration.

Open to the public, the Maison de Monet welcomes visitors of all ages every day from April 1 to November 1, 2025, from 9:30 am to 6 pm (last admission at 5:30 pm). Admission is €12 for adults, €6.50 for children aged 7 to 17, and free for children under 7. Allow around 1h30 to 2h to fully explore the house and gardens.

Good to know: in high season, reservations are highly recommended.

Giverny is not just a postcard setting: it’s a living fragment of art history, where light, color and nature interact with the work of a man who forever changed the way we look at the landscape.
