Additional details
The small village is located at about one hour’s travel distance from Paris and can be reached easily through the trains. You can book the tickets online or get them on the spot. The nearest train station is Saint-Lazare that is about 7 miles away from Giverny.
To cover this distance you will have to get a shuttle bus that leaves every 15 minutes for Giverny. Taxis are also waiting for passengers outside the train stations, ready to take them.
You can also rent a car from Paris directly or get down on Mantes La Jolie, the station before Saint-Lazare that has car rental service providers. However, renting a car might be more expensive and many people prefer to travel through the well-networked train system at lower costs.
These beautiful Giverny gardens remain open 7 months of the year, i.e. April to October. Weather is pleasant throughout these months. July is peak time with more tourist crowds mainly due to being vacation time. Every month brings with it some unique kind of flowers, giving the Giverny gardens a different look every month.
If you don't like crowds, arrive early in April or May to avoid huge tourist crowds. Or you can visit in September and October when the tourists have gone back to their home. The Giverny Monet gardens remain closed for wintertime, from November to the end of March.
