8.5-Hour Monet’s Garden Bike Tour from Paris

We will bring our personal bus to Vernon village to the lovely Normandy wheat and sunflower fields. We’ll collect our bicycles there, visit the picnic supplies market and then have dinner in a lovely park along the river. We’re going to ride the charming bike trail to Giverny after dinner. With thousands of brilliantly colored flowers, water lilies floating on the pond, and the renowned Japanese bridge, Monet’s personal gardens are alive. We invite you to walk through the Monet Foundation as if you walk through one of his favorite paintings.

Monet’s distinctive house is also open to visit as well as his studio, so be sure to take your camera! The village of Giverny also provides you countless cafes and picturesque, tiny streets waiting to be explored. This is the Impressionist movement’s birthplace. After our trip, we will be pedaling back to Vernon along the Seine River for our return to Paris. Typically, the tour returns around 5:30pm to the initial meeting point in Paris.
