Your adventure begins at Gare Saint Lazare in Paris, where the rhythm of SNCF trains carries you through Normandy’s gentle countryside. As the train hums along, anticipation builds for the stroll through the Clos Normand garden—a riot of colorful blooms designed by Monet himself to fuel his creative spirit.

With a dedicated guide by your side, you’ll move at a relaxed pace, accessing insights into Monet’s techniques and personal story. The private format means you ask questions freely, avoiding the rush of group tours. Inside Monet’s home, the rooms are carefully preserved with period décor, offering a rare glimpse into the artist’s daily life and inspirations.
