Good to know before you go
Recommended arrival window
For the Claude Monet Foundation, early-morning (9–10 AM) or late-afternoon (3–5 PM) arrivals are the smoothest. Your driver fine-tunes the pickup time accordingly.
Book your Monet tickets in advance
In high season (April–September), time slots at the Claude Monet Foundation sell out quickly. Book tickets online before your transfer date to skip the queue.
Plan a relaxed return
For a calm return to Paris or your airport, allow a buffer after the visit or a lunch in Vernon. Your driver stays on call and adjusts the departure time.
Winter closure of the Monet Foundation
Claude Monet's House and Gardens usually close from early November to late March. Off-season, we propose alternative Normandy circuits: Rouen, Honfleur, La Roche-Guyon.
