Description
  • Rejoindre le village de Giverny
  • Le trajet jusqu'au village de Giverny depuis le port d'escale de Rouen dure environ 1h30. Le village est l'un des plus célèbres de France car il abrite la maison de Monet, l'un des peintres impressionnistes les plus célèbres du XIXe siècle en France. À votre arrivée, votre guide vous conduira à l'entrée où commencera votre visite des magnifiques jardins et de la maison de Claude Monet. Les billets sont disponibles à l'achat lors du processus de réservation, ce qui vous permettra d'éviter le fichier d'attente.
  • Visitez la maison et les jardins de Monet
  • Même si le terme « impressionnisme » existait déjà, l'un des tableaux de Monet – Impression, levier de soleil – résume parfaitement le style et le début de l'art impressionniste et de ce mouvement pictural. À votre arrivée, votre guide vous conduira à l'entrée où débutera votre visite des jardins et de la maison de Claude Monet. Il y a plusieurs choses à voir sur place :
  • La Maison de Claude Monet :
  • Le peintre arrive à Giverny en 1883 à l'âge de 43 ans. Grâce à la vente de plusieurs tableaux au marchand d'art Durand-Ruel, il acquiert cette maison où il pense pouvoir améliorer son travail sur la lumière et la couleur. Pendant plus de 40 ans, Monet va transformer, aménager et agrandir la maison.
  • En entrant, vous découvrirez d'abord le salon de lecture ou « petit salon bleu » suivi du premier atelier de l'artiste où il travailla jusqu'en 1899. Vous accédez ensuite au premier étage où se trouvent les appartements privés. Parmi ceux-ci, la chambre de Monet où sont exposés des objets et des œuvres de l'époque de Monet. On y trouve également des reproductions de tableaux réalisés par ses amis : Cézanne, Renoir, Signac ou Caillebotte.
  • Vous vous dirigerez ensuite vers la chambre d'Alice, la femme de Claude Monet, et terminerez la visite de l'étage par la dernière pièce qui était la chambre de Blanche Monet. Vous reviendrez ensuite au rez-de-chaussée pour visiter la salle à manger et la cuisine. Vous y admirez la célèbre collection d'estampes japonaises de Monet.
  • Le Jardin du Clos Normand :
  • L'amour de Monet pour les jardins lui vient au gré de ses visites dans les jardins de ses amis ainsi que dans celui qu'il entretenait dans sa précédente maison d'Argenteuil. A Giverny, l'artiste va modeler son jardin pour mieux le peindre. Devant la maison, il crée le Clos Normand.
  • Il commence par supprimer un certain nombre d'arbres, au grand désespoir d'Alice, puis réorganise les massifs de fleurs en jouant avec les couleurs pour ses tableaux. Le jardin de fleurs est composé de jonquilles, tulipes, narcisses, iris, pavots d'Orient, pivoines tandis que l'allée centrale est bordée de capucines, de rosiers parfumés, de cerisiers et d'abricotiers du Japon.
  • Le jardin d'eau :
  • En détournant une petite rivière, Monet a entièrement créé ce jardin d'eau. Il contemple la nature pendant des heures, particulièrement friand des reflets du ciel qui se produisent sur l'eau. Profondément inspiré par le « japonisme » – influence de l'art japonais sur les artistes et écrivains français – il crée un univers unique. Un pont japonais est construit et des plantes orientales sont introduites telles que des érables, des pivoines japonaises, des lys blancs, des bambous et des Ginkgos Biloba.
  • En 1897, Monet commence à peindre la série des « Nymphéas » inspirée du bassin aux nymphéas, réalisant l'une de ses œuvres les plus célèbres atteignant la limite de l'abstraction. Aujourd'hui, dix jardiniers s'occupent des jardins de Giverny toute l'année.
  • Après la visite, votre excursion d'une demi-journée vous ramènera au port de croisière de Rouen et nous vous déposerons à votre navire. Cette excursion privée peut accueillir un maximum de 8 personnes par minibus.
  • Reach the village of Giverny
  • Your drive to the village of Giverny from Rouen port of call is about 1.5 hours. The village is one of the most famous in France as it features Monet’s house, one of the most famous 19th century impressionist painters of France. Upon arrival you will be taken by your tour guide to the entrance where your visit to the beautiful Gardens and House of Claude Monet will begin. Tickets are available for purchase during the booking process which will enable you to skip the line.
  • Visit Monet’s House & Gardens
  • Even though the term ‘impressionism’ already existed, one of Monet’s paintings – impression, sunrise – perfectly summarized the style and start of impressionist art and this painting movement. Upon arrival you will be taken by your guide to the entrance where your visit to the Gardens and House of Claude Monet will begin. There are several things to see on site:
  • Claude Monet’s House:
  • The painter arrived in Giverny in 1883 aged 43 years old. Thanks to the selling of a number of paintings to art merchant Durand-Ruel, he is able to acquire this house where he believes he will be able to ameliorate his work on light and color. During more than 40 years, Monet will transform, develop and enlarge the house.
  • As you enter, you will first discover the reading room or ‘little blue sitting room’ followed by the artist’s first studio where he worked until 1899. You will then proceed to the first floor where the private apartments are located. These include Monet’s bedroom where objects and artwork from Monet’s time are exhibited. There are also reproductions of paintings made by his friends: Cézanne, Renoir, Signac or Caillebotte.
  • Then, move on to Alice’s bedroom – Claude Monet’s wife – and end the tour of the upper floor with the last room which was Blanche Monet’s bedroom. You will then return to the ground floor to visit the dining room and kitchen. Here, you will admire Monet’s famous collection of Japanese prints.
  • The ‘Clos Normand’ Garden:
  • Monet’s love for gardens came as he visited the gardens of friends as well as with the one he took care of in his previous house of Argenteuil. In Giverny, the artist will model his garden so as to better paint it. In front of the house, he creates the Clos Normand.
  • He starts by removing a number of trees, to Alice’s great despair, then reorganizes the flower beds playing with the colors for his paintings. The flower garden is composed of daffodils, tulips, narcissus, iris, oriental poppies, peonies while the central path is lined with nasturtiums, fragrant roses, cherry and Japanese apricot trees.
  • The water garden:
  • By diverting a small river, Monet completely created this water garden. He will contemplate nature for hours especially fond of the reflections of the sky that occur on the water. Deeply inspired by ‘Japonism’ – influence of Japanese art on French Artists and writers – he creates a unique world. A Japanese bridge is built and oriental plants are introduced such as maple trees, Japanese peonies, white lilies, bamboo and Ginkgos Biloba.
  • In 1897, Monet began to paint the “Nymphéas” series inspired by the water lilies pond, achieving one of his most famous artwork reaching the limit of abstraction. Today, ten gardeners take care of Giverny gardens all year round.
  • After the visit your half day tour will head back to Rouen Cruise Port and we will drop you off at your ship. This private tour can accommodate a maximum of 8 persons per minivan.
