The Clos Normand is a stunning part of Claude Monet's famous garden located in Giverny, France. This beautiful garden was the inspiration for many of Monet's iconic paintings, particularly his series of water lilies. A visit to the Clos Normand offers a glimpse into the artistic genius and the natural beauty that influenced Monet's work. As you enter the Clos Normand, you are immediately captivated by the vibrant colors and meticulously designed flower beds. The garden is carefully divided into different sections, each showcasing a variety of plant species. Walking along the gravel paths, you'll encounter an enchanting display of flowers, including roses, irises, tulips, and many other species that change with the seasons. The layout of the garden is a masterpiece in itself, with its symmetrical design and harmonious blending of colors. Monet was a master of color combinations, and this is evident as you witness the interplay between different hues and shades throughout the garden.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and great at sharing the information. Vehicle was very nice and clean.
We had a fabulous tour and experience with Phillipe, as our Guide to Giverny. He clearly loves the subject and enjoys sharing it with others. He also was extremely experienced and knew how to avoid the inconvenience of the crowds. We would take another tour with him in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you in Giverny. I have always loved sharing the beauty and history of this special place, so your message means a lot to me. I’m also very happy that my experience helped make the visit smoother and more enjoyable despite the crowds. That is always my goal for our guests. I would be delighted to see you again for another tour one day! Warm regards, Philippe
This was our first visit to Giverny, and we absolutely loved the entire experience. Philippe, our driver/guide, was outstanding – friendly and highly knowledgeable (and his English is very good also). Convenient pickup right at our hotel, then a comfortable 1.5 hour private journey to Giverny in Philippe’s Mercedes mini-van (with a thoughtful stop at A13 services before arriving – for an easier bathroom break than the smaller facilities at the destination). Upon arriving, we began with a lovely, unhurried walk through Monet’s Water Lily and walled gardens, then a brief spin through his house and the gift shop. An excellent, unrushed tour with highly interesting and informative commentary. The entire trip was enjoyable from start to finish (including some helpful impromptu French lessons from Philippe along the way). I can’t rank Philippe high enough; this was one of the best overall tours we’ve had and would highly recommend it to anyone who is even a casual admirer of Monet, gardens, impressionist art, or just a nice day out in France. Merci beaucoup!
Thank you sincerely for your lovely review. Your appreciation means a lot to us, and it makes me happy to know that your experience met (and hopefully exceeded!) your expectations. We would be honored to welcome you again in France :) Merci beaucoup !
We had a lovely visit to Giverny on a beautiful afternoon guided tour. Our guide, Frederic Meunier, was excellent. He is very knowledgable, entertaining, and very professional. He took great care of us.
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words. Frederic also had a great time guiding you through Giverny and we are delighted to know that you enjoyed both the visit and the time you spent together. We always try to combine insight, stories, and attention to detail so that each guest feels fully looked after. We hope your memories of that afternoon at Monet’s gardens remain as vivid and colorful as the flowers themselves. Warm regards, Frédéric and Philippe
We had a wonderful tour to Giverny. Our guide Frédéric was exceptional. He was knowledgeable about the gardens and Monet’s house. He even made us a reservation for lunch in Paris on our way back. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m delighted to hear you had such a great experience in Giverny. It’s wonderful that Frédéric could share his insights and make your visit so special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
It was really good with a very appreciable guide (Lisa). The visit to the house of Claude Monet was very interesting. The garden very beautiful too.
Phillipe our guid was great. Very knowledgeable, drove us to and from comfortably in a nice clean van. He made the trip so much more enjoyable than if we had done it ourselves. Totally worth it.
Dear Brock, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I'm really happy to hear you & your family enjoyed the experience and felt comfortable throughout the journey. It means a lot to know the tour added to your enjoyment—it's always my goal to make the day smooth, engaging, and memorable. All the best, and maybe we’ll cross paths again! Kind regards, Philippe
Excellent guide, very informative and helpful. Added a lot of information to the trip. Willing to adjust the drop off to our next destination.
Thank you so much for your kind words—it was a true pleasure to guide you. I’m glad the stories and details added depth to your journey, and I was more than happy to help with your next stop. Giverny is a place that speaks to the soul—where colors seem to float in the air and time slows among the lilies and blossoms. It’s no surprise that Monet found his greatest inspiration there. I hope the spirit of that beauty stays with you for a long time :)
Frederic was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. Knew all of the best spots for pictures and eased us through the gardens. His efficiency even gave us time to stop at a beautiful spot on the Seine for a quick breakfast and pictures. Easy conversation and his impeccable van made the ride pleasant and quick! Looking forward to another adventure with him!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that Frederic made your day picture-perfect—he’s definitely got an eye for the best spots ;)! Looking forward to more adventures and, of course, more perfect photo ops with Frederic!
