See this dayGiverny sits about 80 km west-north-west of Paris, on the right bank of the Seine. A tour from Paris takes you there and back by road in a single outing, so you keep your hotel and lose no evening. The half-days run four and a half to seven hours. The full days, nine to eleven and a half, add the Palace of Versailles or Van Gogh's village of Auvers-sur-Oise.
There are four ways to travel. A coach carries up to fifty from Porte Maillot, with a tour leader and an app for the gardens. A minivan carries six to eight with a guide or a driver. A private car collects you at your hotel. And the bike day puts you in the saddle for the last 5 km, after a bus ride out and a picnic by the Seine. Every one of them runs only in the garden season, which in 2026 is 1 April to 1 November.
On your own you take a train from Saint-Lazare, then the shuttle or a 5 km walk or ride from Vernon-Giverny station. A tour removes both steps: you board in Paris and step off at the village. Our page on getting there by train sets out the other route.
Most fares pay your entry to Monet's house and gardens, which costs €13 for an adult at the gate in 2026. Some private days name the visit only in the itinerary, and the private driver day leaves the ticket out. Each card says which.
This is the real difference between fares. The coach gives you an app. Most small groups of six and eight put a guide beside you in the flower garden and at the pond. The private days add an art historian or your own guide at your pace.
Some combination days add Versailles, others Van Gogh's Auvers-sur-Oise. You see two places for one journey out of Paris, at the cost of less time at each.
Most people weighing a tour are also weighing the train. Here is what each way of going gives you on a half-day.
| Coach | Small-group minivan | Private car | Train on your own | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Door to door | About 6 hours | 4.5 to 7 hours | 4.5 to 5 hours | As long as you like |
| Time in Giverny | About 3 hours | 2 to 3 hours | 2 to 3 hours | Until the 5.30 pm last entry |
| In the gardens | An app, no guide | A guide on most | Your own guide on most | On your own |
| Monet ticket | In the fare | In the fare | Named in some fares | €13 at the gate or online |
| Price a person | $80 | $147 to $255 | $392 to $1,275 | Train, plus a €10 return shuttle |
| Pickup | Porte Maillot | A café, or your hotel on some | Your hotel | You get to Saint-Lazare |
If you are happy with an app and a fixed hour, the coach is the simplest way to go. If you want a guide in the gardens, take a small group. If you want to linger until closing time, go by train; our guide to going on your own walks you through it.
Four and a half hours from avenue de Wagram: 90 minutes in the flower garden with your guide, then the house, the pond, the church and the grave. Ages 7 and up.
