Stop At: The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet, 84 rue Claude Monet, 27620 Giverny France

The Clos Normand is a stunning part of Claude Monet's famous garden located in Giverny, France. This beautiful garden was the inspiration for many of Monet's iconic paintings, particularly his series of water lilies. A visit to the Clos Normand offers a glimpse into the artistic genius and the natural beauty that influenced Monet's work.

As you enter the Clos Normand, you are immediately captivated by the vibrant colors and meticulously designed flower beds. The garden is carefully divided into different sections, each showcasing a variety of plant species. Walking along the gravel paths, you'll encounter an enchanting display of flowers, including roses, irises, tulips, and many other species that change with the seasons.

The layout of the garden is a masterpiece in itself, with its symmetrical design and harmonious blending of colors. Monet was a master of color combinations, and this is evident as you witness the interplay between different hues and shades throughout the garden.

A wonderful private tour service. Philippe is extremely knowledgeable and adds so much to the day by sharing all of his insights. We learned so much about Monet and Giverny on our tour. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Phillipe and we highly recommend Best of France Tours. I look forward to booking another tour with Philippe when I return to Paris.

I combed through aLa Vacanza Travel for a half day trip to Giverny that would pick us up at our hotel. We hired Best of France tours to take us, two 66 and two 69 year olds. Frederic Meunier picked us up on time. He entertained and educated us all the way to Giverny. He guided us quickly to Monet’s house as the line was comparatively short. Guides are not allowed in with the groups so he to,d us what to look for. We met back up with him . We toured the gardens while he told us about the. The gardens themselves are stunning as are the water lilys. We felt Frederic was invaluable and would happily us him again. On the way back into Paris he recommended the Mormottan Monet museum in the 16th arr., where he dropped us off. It was our “Monet Day”. It was wonderful.

We had an incredible experience on this private tour. I have done Giverny by train, but this way is 100% worth it! Philippe is truly an exceptional human being. He has a really high EQ and set just the right tone for our group. Also, he is an absolute expert on all things France, including the topic du jour, Giverny. We really appreciated how well he shared his knowledge with us in a way that felt more personable than simply a tour. He picked us up in his like new, comfortable Mercedes luxury van, with waters. The trip to/from was easy and we got to see a lot of history along the way going through cute little French villages. Skipping the line at Monet’s was a life saver, and Philippe expertly navigated the grounds pushing one of us in a wheelchair provided by the estate, while guiding us on the tour. He also guided us on where to take the best photographs and he took AMAZING photos of our group. I can’t recommend him enough. We wanted to try to get him for the rest of our tours, but of course he’s fully booked! Thank you Philippe, for such a memorable trip to Giverny.

Excellent experience! Phillipe was on time for our hotel pick-up. The minivan was impeccably clean, the seats were very comfortable, the air conditioning worked well (important on a hot day!) and there were plenty of bottles of water for our group. The drive was smooth, and Phillipe talked about Giverny and Monet on the way there. He's very knowledgeable! He guided us through the gardens & Monet's house; he shared more history on-site, including historical photos; and took pictures of us. We took a scenic route back to Paris, where he showed us, among other things, homes built into the side of a mountain, and we stopped for a snack at a delicious bakery. He answered so many of our non-Giverny questions as well. Will definitely be back for another tour with Phillipe next visit to Paris. He was personable, kind, and accommodating (we had to change our date and time). Thank you, Phillipe!!
