    Le Havre Shore Excursion to Giverny & Honfleur

    Experience the beauty of Normandy on a private shore excursion from Le Havre that combines Claude Monet’s iconic gardens in Giverny with time to discover the charming harbor town of Honfleur.

    Convenient pick‑up at Le Havre Cruise Port

    Your day begins with pick‑up directly at your cruise ship in Le Havre. Your English‑speaking driver/guide will be waiting outside the terminal with a sign bearing the lead traveler’s name. After introductions and a quick overview of the itinerary, board your premium air‑conditioned vehicle, equipped with a PA system for live commentary, and relax on the scenic 1.5–2 hour drive to Giverny.

    Explore Giverny and Claude Monet’s gardens

    Arrive in the village of Giverny, where Claude Monet lived and worked for more than 40 years. Your guide will escort you to the entrance to begin your visit of Monet’s house and gardens (entrance tickets not included and to be purchased at booking).

    1. Claude Monet’s house Step inside Monet’s beautifully preserved home. Explore the reading room and first studio, then continue upstairs to the private apartments, including Monet’s bedroom, Alice’s room, and Blanche’s room, decorated with period furniture, reproductions of works by Monet’s artist friends, and his collection of Japanese prints. Return to the ground floor to see the bright yellow dining room and the traditional kitchen.
    2. The Clos Normand garden In front of the house, wander through the Clos Normand, a flower garden designed by Monet as a living canvas. Depending on the season, admire beds filled with tulips, irises, poppies, peonies, roses, and many other blooms arranged in harmonious layers of color and height, with a central path framed by climbing plants and fruit trees.
    3. The water garden Cross under the road to reach the water garden, entirely created by Monet by diverting a small stream. Walk along the pond surrounded by willows, bamboo, and Japanese maples, and pause on the iconic Japanese bridge overlooking the water lilies that inspired his famous “Nymphéas” (Water Lilies) series.

    Important note: Entrance tickets to Giverny are not included in the tour price and must be purchased during the booking process. Your guide will adapt the visit to match the ticket option you choose.

    Lunch and stop in Honfleur

    After your visit, enjoy some free time for lunch (at own expense) in or near Giverny, where your guide can recommend cafés or restaurants. In the afternoon, begin the journey back toward Le Havre with a stop in Honfleur, one of Normandy’s most picturesque harbor towns.

    • Enjoy a short guided walking tour to get your bearings.
    • Stroll cobbled streets lined with half‑timbered houses, art galleries, and boutique shops.
    • Admire the Vieux Bassin, Honfleur’s postcard‑perfect old harbor, and capture memorable photos.

    Return to Le Havre Cruise Port

    At the end of the day, your driver/guide will take you back to your cruise ship in Le Havre in time for departure. This private tour accommodates up to 8 passengers per minivan and can be customized; if you would like to adjust timings or add an extra stop such as Rouen, simply let us know in advance so the itinerary can be tailored to your needs.

Everything was as we expected The quality of the truck and the driver were perfect, the driver was very friendly and attentive. The guide, I don't remember his name, was really kind and attentive, answering our questions and doubts and making all the trips enjoyable. He told us the most interesting things about each city without making it boring, especially because we had a lot of children and he adapted perfectly to any change of plans that we needed as a group. Thank you very much for everything, and rest assured that we will recommend you

      We are doing very well a week after our return to the United States, thank you.
      Our tour was wonderful,Mickael was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and wonderful driver as well. He was right on time and our two stops, at Giverny and Honfleur, were highlights of our trip.
      I am so glad now that the cruise excursion was booked and that I found your agency instead. Many thanks to him, and to you, for all the reassuring/excellent communication beforehand. This is the first time we have done something like this on an International trip so there was some anxiety about how it would all work out, but honestly, it is the way to go. Everyone in our party enjoyed themselves. I appreciate you following up, too.
