Located at the edge of Normandy, about 50 miles north of Paris, Claude Monet’s Home is one of the most popular tour destination around Paris. There you will discover the famous gardens created by the most famous of the Impressionist painters often referred to as the father of Impressionism, though not the first to have painted in « a style that would become known as Impressionism ». You will enjoy the sight of the well-known Japanese bridge in the midst of its flowered paths and wather-lily ponds, and the house, with its pink crushed brick façade, where the leader of the Impressionist School spent 43 years from 1883 until his death in 1926. After a morning spent in one of this most inspirational settings, you will head off to the banks of the Epte River where you will have lunch at the lovely “Moulin de Fourges” restaurant, a 200-year-old mill. The architecture of this listed site, dating back to the 18th century, draws its inspiration from hamlet of Marie-Antoinette at Versailles.

Enjoy this trip under a very warm day on 7/16/2026
We enjoyed this trip very much! Although it was very warm, thankfully the car was air-conditioned. Our guide, Honoré, was very polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. He also provided us personal care. Under his guidance, we avoided long queues and bustling crowds, and were not hindered from properly appreciating Monet's Gardens or Versailles Palace. A three-course lunch left us energized and well-rested for the day's itinerary.

Isabelle was amazing! She was warm and friendly and attentive, very knowledgeable, and she knew how to negotiate us through the crowds. We had an ample amount of free time to explore, too.

Amazing day trip
Amazing time with our knowledgeable guide

Giverny & Versailles
Giverny was beautiful! And Versailles magnificent. Oliver, the guide, was not particularly friendly. He said very little during the drive to Giverny. As we approached the location he provided a little historical information along with logistics. At Versailles, Oliver the knowledgeable historian arrived. He was engaging and humorous. Filled with interesting facts and stories about Versailles and the generations of people that lived there. We would have enjoyed learning more about the history of Giverny, Versailles and Paris while in the van. It was evident at Versailles that Oliver is an historian and loves his city. I wish he shared more of his knowledge and stories.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 229 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris?
+
Around 80 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Palace Day Trip with Lunch from Paris start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
