Located 74 km (45 min) outside of Paris, Giverny is known for Monet. He lived in the tiny village from 1883 until his death in a house surrounded by gardens. Here you’ll find the Maison et Jardins de Claude Monet (and the bridge seen in his Japanese bridge series). It makes a perfect day trip from Paris. Reach it from the Saint-Lazare Paris station to the Vernon-Giverny station. From the station grab a taxi, the bus shuttle or walk (1 hour-7km).
