なぜジヴェルニーへ？
1883年、クロード・モネはジヴェルニーに移り住み、その後43年間をこの地で過ごしました。ここで彼は2つの素晴らしい庭園を創りました — 色鮮やかなクロ・ノルマンと睡蓮の池。これらはオルセー美術館やオランジュリー美術館に所蔵される彼の最も有名な連作の源泉となりました。
ジヴェルニーは単なる庭園ではありません。芸術革命の誕生地です。モネはここで水面・花・植物に映る変化する光を観察し、印象派の技法を完成させました。

Giverny is a small village in Normandy, northern France, 75 km north-west of Paris in the Eure department. It sits on the right bank of the Seine, near the town of Vernon.
Absolutely. Claude Monet's garden is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. The Clos Normand flower garden and the water garden with the Japanese bridge inspired some of the most famous paintings in art history.
The easiest way is by train from Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny (1h20), then a shuttle bus or taxi to the village (5 km). Guided day tours from Paris are also popular and include return transport.
The gardens are open from 1 April to 1 November, every day from 09:30 to 18:00 (last entry 17:30). They are closed from November to March.
In May and June — peak season — we strongly recommend booking online in advance. Queues can be 45–60 minutes long on busy days. Online tickets cost the same as at the door.
Allow 2–3 hours for the gardens and Monet's house. Add an hour for the Museum of Impressionisms and 30 minutes for the village. A full day trip from Paris (door to door) typically takes 8–9 hours.
