At the gateway to Normandy, 80 km from Paris and 60 km from Rouen, the village of Giverny is located on the right bank of the River Seine. Claude Monet discovered this village whilst looking out of the train window. He was so enthusiastic about the spot that he rented a house there , "the Press House". There are two parts in Monet’s famous garden: first there’s a flower garden called Clos Normand in front of the house and then a Japanese inspired water garden that can be found on the other side of the road.

Às portas da Normandia, a 80 km de Paris e a 60 de Rouen, a vila de Giverny está localizada na margem direita do Rio Sena. Claude Monet descobriu esta vila, enquanto olhava pela janela do comboio. Ele ficou tão entusiasmado com o local que alugou ali uma casa, "a Casa da Imprensa". Há duas partes no famoso jardim de Monet: primeiro há um jardim de flores chamado Clos Normand na frente da casa e, de seguida, um jardim da água inspirado num jardim japonês que pode ser encontrado no outro lado da estrada.
I must say it was absolutely worth to visit Giverny and Monet’s Gardens and House because while there for instants we can actually believe we’re in some his masterpieces. It’s not that far from Paris and all you’ve got to do is catching a train to Vernon and then the Bus to Giverny which will take you about an hour.

Devo dizer que vale muito a pena visitar Giverny e os Jardins de Monet e a Casa, porque lá dentro, por instantes, podemos imaginar-nos nalgumas das suas obras-primas . Não é nada longe de Paris e tudo que tem a fazer é apanhar o comboio para Vernon e depois o autocarro para Giverny, o queimplicará cerca de uma hora.
The Foundation Claude Monet is open everyday from the 1st of April to the 1st of November included.
How to get there from Paris: Take a train from the station Saint Lazare to Vernon (45 minutes) an then the bus 240 from Vernon to Giverny (15 minutes).
