What to expect

Your driver collects you from your Paris location and drives you the forty kilometres northwest to Giverny. The journey takes roughly ninety minutes each way through the Seine Valley. Once there, you're free to wander Monet's house and gardens, the village's narrow lanes, and riverside walks at your own rhythm. Your driver remains available for questions about local history and lesser-known spots. The return journey follows the same comfortable route back to Paris. No guide commentary—just a friendly local who knows the area well and responds to your curiosity.
