Giverny and Honfleur Private Tour from Paris

A full day exploring Normandy's most beloved village and its charming harbor town, entirely on your own schedule.


This Giverny and Honfleur private tour from Paris gives you exclusive access to two of Normandy's most celebrated destinations over the course of a single, unhurried day. Your itinerary is shaped around your group, with no shared buses or fixed crowd routines to work around.

Giverny, the village made famous by Claude Monet's gardens and paintings, draws visitors who want to see where Impressionism took root in the French countryside. The water lilies, flower beds, and Japanese bridge are every bit as striking in person as in the canvases they inspired.

Honfleur sits at the mouth of the Seine where it meets the English Channel, a working harbor town whose timber-framed buildings and slate rooftops have changed little over the centuries. Local shops, seafood restaurants, and ice cream parlors line the quayside, making it an ideal place to end a long day with a relaxed wander.

The private format means your guide and vehicle are dedicated entirely to your party for the full nine hours. You set the pace, decide how long to linger in each spot, and avoid the constraints that come with joining a shared group.

Tour Highlights

Walk through Monet's famous gardens in Giverny, including the lily pond and the Japanese footbridge that inspired his most iconic series of paintings.

Discover the historic port of Honfleur, one of Normandy's most photogenic towns, with its distinctive slate-fronted buildings lining the old harbor.

Travel in a private vehicle with a dedicated guide, giving your group full flexibility over the day's pace and stops.

Browse local shops and artisan boutiques in both villages, with time to pick up regional produce, crafts, and souvenirs at your leisure.

Sample Normandy cuisine at local restaurants, from fresh seafood along the Honfleur waterfront to classic Norman pastries and ice cream.

Follow in the footsteps of the Impressionist painters who made this corner of France one of the most painted landscapes in art history.
