One of my favorite day trips from Paris is a visit to Claude Monet’s House and Gardens in Giverny, a small commune in Normandy France.

Read on for why you should take a day trip from Paris during your travels, and why I recommend Giverny in particular as a beautiful Paris day trip. I’m also sharing exactly how to get to Giverny from the heart of Paris (and back again!).
