Giverny and Rouen Private Tour from Paris
A curated full-day journey through Normandy's artistic and historical heart
The Giverny and Rouen private tour from Paris offers an intimate way to explore two of Normandy's most compelling destinations in a single day. With a professional guide and a small group of up to eight people, every stop is given the attention it deserves. This nine-hour experience balances natural beauty with deep historical significance.
Rouen served for centuries as the capital of Normandy and carries a layered history that spans medieval architecture, trade, and some of France's most dramatic historical episodes. Walking its streets reveals a city that has preserved its character while remaining very much alive.
Giverny draws visitors from around the world for one reason above all others: Claude Monet chose to live and paint here for more than four decades. The village and its surroundings shaped some of the most recognizable paintings in Western art history.
Traveling privately means the itinerary adapts to your pace. You spend more time where it matters and move on when you are ready, without the constraints of a large group tour.

Itinerary Overview
Your private tour begins with a pickup from Paris. The drive toward Normandy takes you through the French countryside northwest of the capital, setting the tone for the day ahead.
The first stop is the village of Giverny, where Claude Monet lived from 1883 until his death in 1926. Your guide introduces the village and its artistic legacy before you explore the gardens and house.
Walk through the flower gardens and the famous water garden, including the Japanese bridge and the pond that appears throughout Monet's most celebrated paintings. The house itself offers a glimpse into his daily life and working environment.
After time in Giverny, your group travels to Rouen, the former capital of Normandy. The journey between the two destinations takes roughly an hour along the Seine valley.
