One of the most iconic images of Impressionist art is Claude Monet’s Water Lilies series. You can see some of the famous paintings in the Orangerie Museum in Paris, but why not visit the actual gardens that inspired the paintings? Monet’s House and Gardens in Giverny are an easy and pleasant day trip from Paris.

The village of Giverny is nestled in the Normandy countryside, about 50 miles northwest of Paris. The easiest way to get there is by train, and the journey takes a little over an hour – 45 minutes on the train to Vernon, and another 20 minutes for the shuttle to Giverny.
