Getting to Giverny from the restaurant in Vernon

Blossom Bistrot
15 minutes’ walk from Vernon station

Blossom Bistrot
15 minutes by bike from Giverny

Giverny
Cradle of impressionism

We’re just 15 minutes from Vernon train station and from there you can rent a bike to explore the surroundings.

Of course, Giverny is a must.

The Monet Gardens are just 15 minutes by bike, less than ten minutes by car, or an hour’s walk if you’re feeling brave. The walk is very pretty as Vernon and Giverny are located on either side of the Seine.

Why should you visit Giverny? For its amazing light; like nowhere else according to Claude Monet the impressionist painter. For its Japanese-style water garden and its water lilies which inspired the artist’s world-famous paintings. And to see the work of the master painter who lived there for more than 40 years until his death in 1926.

 At Giverny you can visit the Fondation Monet and the Impressionist Museum.

Vernon is in the Eure department of France, it’s also close to the departments of Yvelines, Val-d’Oise, Eure-et-Loire and Seine-Maritime. You’ll find lots to do here!
Here are a few ideas:

  • The town of Rouen in the department of Seine-Maritime is easily reached by train or car. It’s full of art and history: you’ll find the Musée des Beaux-Arts (entry to the permanent collections is free), the cathedral, and the Historial Jeanne d’Arc museum with interactive multimedia.

  • The French Regional Natural Park of Vexin (in Val-d’Oise and Yvelines) is ideal for country walks — beside the Seine, through the Tour du Lay woods and on the Frocard marshes. The flora and fauna here inspired painters like Cézanne and Van Gogh.

  • Les Andelys in Eure is a medieval town dominated by its famous castle: Château Gaillard, the castle of Richard the Lionheart! The view over the Seine Valley is breathtaking and the Cistercian Bonport Abbey is also nearby.

  • La Roche-Guyon (in Val-d’Oise) in Vexin Regional Natural Park. A mediaeval village and castle that also sit on the banks of the Seine. It’s a pleasure to wander through the narrow streets. La Roche-Guyon is the only village in the Paris region to have earned a “prettiest village in France” title.

The Blossom Restaurant in Vernon close to Giverny is the perfect stop-off point to enjoy a bite to eat. Stay for a meal or glass of wine with us and to enjoy some wonderful treats from Normandy!
