on the banks of the Seine.

Directly accessible from the property, the path that runs alongside the Seine makes for lovely strolls along the river's banks. You'll discover the charming village houses, the well-tended banks, the secret life of the river's flora and fauna, and superb views of the Seine, its islands and hills. It's also the starting point for longer hikes to the hill of the two lovers and Connelles, on the other bank.

In 1884, Claude Monet settled in the small village of Giverny. The leader of the Impressionist movement stayed until his death in 1926. The changing lights and landscapes of the Seine valley, its meadows, its bunches of trees and the flowers in his garden were a perpetual source of inspiration for the master. Today, the house and grounds of the Claude Monet Foundation are one of the most visited sites in France. A discovery to be combined with the Musée des Impressionismes.
