介绍:
Giverny is a small French village 80 km to the west of the capital city Paris, within the valley of the river Seine and the northern region of Upper Normandy. The village is best known as the rural retreat of the Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926)
It is recommended that you take a guided tour to make the most of your visit to Claude Monet's house and garden at Giverny.
If you are coming from Paris, you might wish to take a bus or minibus tour which provides a tour-guide.
If you are coming on your own, you can book a guided tour in English, French or German, offered every day, by appointment only.
If you are feeling energetic, try hiking one of the nature trails that wind through the hills above Giverny. The panoramic views of the village, the Seine valley, and the neighboring town of Vernon are quite stunning to see unfold beneath you. Two of the area's trails start at a signboard behind the city hall, found just up Rue Blanche Hoschedé-Monet. Make sure you're wearing sturdy shoes or boots and are in relatively good shape, as some sections of the trails on the forested hillsides can be very challenging. Carrying water and insect repellent might also be a good idea, depending on the weather. Information on other scenic hiking trails can be found at the Tourist Bureau in neighboring Vernon.
The nearby Forêt de Bizy is also a lovely place for a picnic or nature walk, and is a good way to get away from the crowds which sometime descend on Giverny.
There is a small restaurant attached to Monet&`&s House (beware tourist trap prices and overcrowding) and a few reasonable options in the village. A wider choice can be found in the surroundings. On a fine day, bringing a picnic lunch with you might be a better option - walk up out of the village along some of the small lanes for a change from the crowds.
