The inside of Monet's house is simply furnished and colourfully painted and has a very warm and inviting atmosphere. You can see the beautiful collection of Japanese prints that inspired Monet's water garden and in his studio there is the Claude Monet foundation's giftshop.
Monet's bedroom is charming, painted pale yellow with simple furniture and three large windows looking out on his beloved garden.
The dining room is the most vibrant with walls and furniture all painted a rich canary yellow - apparently Monet did not care for the dark wood so fashionable in Victorian times! Tickets cost To visit the museums buy a combined ticket. There are often large queues and so booking on line or buying tickets from the tourist office of Vernon is highly recommended to avoid the queues.
The museum has some very nice gardens. Many more can be seen at the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris. Nearby are the lovely gardens of Angelique and the stunning Jardin Plume. Both are well worth a visit. This part of France is great for garden visiting. You can find more local travel ideas in the North West France guide ,.
The Jardin d'Angelique surround a beautiful manor house and the front and back garden offer two different styles, both of which are charming. Route maps can be collected from the Tourist Board or found on their website. Those with an adventurous streak can venture out on their own; the old railroad path is a great option that when followed keeps you from getting lost and can even take you all the way back to Vernon.
The walk between Giverny and Vernon is approximately five kilometres.
