Description
Join me for a bike tour from Vernon to Giverny. Let's ride along the Seine river from Vernon-Giverny train station up to Claude Monet's house and gardens.
Hi, my name is Nicolas, I was born and I live in Vernon next to Giverny. Join me for a bike tour from Vernon to Giverny. Let's ride along the Seine river from Vernon-Giverny train station up to Claude Monet's house and gardens. We'll ride in the landscapes that inspired the Impressionists. You'll travel back in time from the Middle-Ages to the 19th century and World War 2 and will discover the iconic sites of Vernon. 80% percent of the ride on bike lanes, the rest in the streets of Giverny, with the finish in front of Monet's house. Enjoy a cool bike ride and spend a good day in the country of the Impressionists.
How long is the tour?
1 hour, more or less. Anyway, I'm not a tour operator with a tight schedule so I won't rush you. If you want to stop to take photos, if you have questions, that's fine, and if the tour lasts 30mn more that's OK, I won't charge an extra. I want you to have fun.
Why is the bike rental not included?
To let you enjoy the bike for the whole day. If I rent the bikes on my name you'll have to come back to Vernon with me right after the tour. If you rent a bike on your name you can keep it until 7pm when the bike rental closes. The price is the same but the value for money is waaayyy better. Moreover, you can decide when you wanna leave, no strings attached.
Why is the skip the line ticket for Monet's garden not included?
To let you free to choose what you wanna do. Some people want to visit the gardens, some don't and some want to visit the Museum of Impressionisms instead. Ex: In a group of 4, 2 don't want to visit the gardens, so, they won't have to pay for it.
Is it recommended to buy a skip the line ticket for Monet's gardens?
Highly!!! Buy it now, thank me later. You'll find all the official resellers on the Monet Foundation's website. It's the same price than at the ticket office in Giverny.
Is it easy to go back to Vernon?
Yes, nobody got lost so far. But, if you want to be sure to find your way easily, I can provide you with an itinerary on a Google map simply by scanning a Qr code.
Do you have tips?
Yes. I'll take you where you can park the bikes safely. I'll show you where is the dedicated entrance for people with skip the line tickets, huge time saver, and I can show you where to eat. All this available on a Google map again if you want.
