Claude Monet's House and Gardens

Highlight • Historical Site

It is interesting to see how the painter lived. However, his house is very crowded. It is therefore advisable to plan a visit in the afternoon around 3 p.m. His adjacent garden park is phenomenal and has more to offer than just the famous Japanese ridge.

Sainte-Radegonde Church of Giverny

Highlight • Religious Site

This church dates back to the 11th century and is therefore Romanesque. It was rebuilt and expanded in the 16th century, and the richly decorated furniture and beautiful interior decoration mostly date from the 17th century.
The graves of Claude Monet and his family can be visited in the adjacent cemetery.

Le Vieux-Moulin

Highlight • Other

The Old Mill was built on the remains of a medieval arched bridge. The bridge dates back to the 12th century, but the mill was added in the 16th century. It is the last remaining remnant of the ancient mills built on bridges in the region. This one served as a subject for the famous Impressionist painter Claude Monet.

Old Mill of Vernon

Highlight • Monument

For a long time, our ancestors have observed nature and learned to harness the often unbridled power of the elements, including flowing water. What makes this place special is the unusual technology used: it was not a "normal" water mill that was built, but a very unusual construction in which the wheels were hung in the arches.

Tourelles Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château des Tourelles has a typical history of a medieval building. Its construction began in the 13th century, but it was not completed until the 18th century. Its impressive turrets justify the name of the castle. Listed as a Historic Monument, it is located a few steps from the old mill, another point of great interest in Vernon.
