For those who cherish the world of art, this excursion to Giverny offers a unique opportunity to explore Monet's House and Gardens along with Van Gogh's grave in Auvers-sur-Oise.

Giverny & Auvers Day Trip from Paris

Our journey commences at Avenue de Wagram, number 1, adjacent to the Arc de Triomphe. From this central Parisian location, we will embark on a bus trip heading north from the city.

Following a scenic ride of about 1.5 hours, we'll arrive in Auvers-sur-Oise, a charming locality where Van Gogh spent his final weeks. During your 3.5 hours of leisure time here, feel free to wander through the town and indulge in its delightful gastronomy.

We suggest meandering through the golden wheat fields that the esteemed artist so beautifully captured. Additionally, your visit includes a ticket to Auberge Ravoux, the historic inn that now serves as a museum, recreating the ambiance of Van Gogh's last days.

Make sure to visit the Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, depicted in one of Van Gogh's renowned works, as well as the headstone of Vincent van Gogh located in Auvers-sur-Oise cemetery, where he has rested since his passing on July 29, 1890.

Once ample time has passed in the village that hosted the Post-Impressionist legend, we will depart from Auvers for a one-hour drive to Giverny. This serene village in Normandy is the site of Claude Monet's House and Gardens, a cornerstone of Impressionist artistry.

You will have around 3.5 hours of free time to experience Monet's house and gardens, with entry included. We strongly encourage you to take a leisurely walk by the iconic water lily pond and the Japanese bridge that the painter captured in his art.

In conclusion, we shall make our way back from Giverny to the original meeting point in Paris, wrapping up this enriching 10-hour day trip.
