Clewel Travel · Paris
Clewel Travel picks you up in Paris at 8:00 for a guided visit of Monet's house and garden, Honfleur at lunchtime and a late afternoon at the Étretat cliffs and gardens. It's the only trip here that puts Monet's garden and the cliffs he painted in the same day.
Clewel Travel, which also runs the small-group Rouen day, sells this as a private trip for up to 7 in a Mercedes E220 or minivan, with a live guide all day. Pickup is at any address in Paris at 8:00. Giverny is 70 km away, about 1 h 15, and you're at Monet's house at 9:15 with prebooked tickets for a guided visit of the house, the studio and the gardens until 11:00.
Then the long leg west. Honfleur from 12:30 to 14:30 with a walking tour, and Étretat from 15:15 to 17:00 for the cliffs and the Jardins d'Étretat. That's 1 h 45 for both, so stick to the Amont side, where the gardens are. Back in Paris around 20:00. Monet painted Étretat more than 80 times, so the pairing makes sense. It's just a lot of road.
Season matters. Monet's house and gardens open from 1 April to 1 November 2026, so after this month the Giverny part can't run until spring 2027. The listing is new with no reviews of its own; the quotes below come from Clewel's small-group day. Meals and tips are extra, and the price is $669 per person.

★★★★★We had an amazing private tour of Etretat and Rouen with Ilya. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, providing interesting details about the history of each location. The van was comfortable and clean and the driver, Vadim, was skilled and courteous.
★★★★★The guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared a wealth of historical information and fascinating details throughout the experience. Both the guide and the driver were very friendly, professional, and attentive.
★★★★★We started with Honfleur, the beautiful port, followed by Monet’ paintings on the coastline of Etretat and then ending with the cathedral and the history of the Jeanne D Arc in the lovely streets of Rouen. [...] Cyrus was an awesome resource.
