What you'll see on site
Clos Normand
The flower garden in front of the house: tulips and irises in spring, roses in summer, dahlias in autumn — colour-coded planting designed by Monet himself.
The Water Garden
The Japanese bridge, the weeping willows, and the water lilies that inspired the Nymphéas series at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris.
Monet's pink house
The artist's home from 1883 to 1926: the famous yellow dining room, the blue kitchen, his studio, and his Japanese print collection.
Tips from a local driver
- Book the timed ticket on fondation-monet.com a few days ahead in May–June and weekends — same-day tickets sell out by mid-morning.
- Arrive at 9:30 AM sharp or after 4 PM — the Japanese bridge is photogenic without the crowds.
- Combine with the Musée des Impressionnismes (5 min walk) — same village, complementary collection, €20.50 combined ticket.
- Lunch: Hôtel Baudy (Monet's favourite spot) or Le Jardin des Plumes (1 Michelin star) — both 5 min from the gardens.
- Bring a light jacket: even on warm days the Water Garden stays cool under the willows.
