Map of Giverny and Vernon in France

Most people are looking to go to Monet's house and gardens when they plan a trip to Giverny in Haute-Normandy. There is no direct train service to Giverny, but you can stop in nearby Vernon (worth seeing in its own right) and go to Giverny by bus, taxi, bike, or by simply walking.

Notes on Walking or Biking from Vernon to Giverny

The highway marked on the map as "Route de Giverny" is nasty to walk or bike on. Use the bike/foot path marked on the map as "Voie Andre Touflet" instead.

Monet's garden is best visited from April to October, although most folks visit in May and June.

We recommend L‘ Hôtel d‘ Evreux in Vernon for an old world atmosphere not far from the train station and an excellent restaurant.
