Giverny and Auvers sur Oise Private Tour

Take a private full day tour of the Impressionists' road, visiting Giverny, Monet’s House, the Van Gogh Museum, Auvers sur Oise, and finish with a gourmet food tour of the Auberge Ravoux and the absinthe Museum to discover 19th century French cuisine! 

  • Day Tour from Paris to the impressionist’ villages of Giverny and Auvers sur Oise, combined with a gourmet food tour on the theme of the 19th century French cuisine and culinary traditions

    Our French culinary tourism agency La Route des Gourmets, expert in Food and Wine Wine tours in France, has created this unique and unusual private tour that combines two themes: the impressionist painters and their culinary traditions.

    With a French food expert as your guide, enjoy the landscape and villages that inspired the greatest Impressionists like Cezanne, Gauguin and Renoir, discover the Church in Auvers sur Oise painted by Van Gogh, and learn everything about French cuisine at the time!

    Leaving from Paris, this tour starts on the banks of the Seine, near the famous city painted by Claude Monet, where parisians often came to picnic.

    Your guide will then take you to Auvers sur Oise to visit the Absinthe Museum, a spirit widely consumed during the 19th century, to the Van Gogh Museum, the Church and then to the famous Auberge Ravoux where Van Gogh die.

    At this inn and restaurant, your guide will explain what 19th century French cuisine entailed. You will have the option to have lunch, choosing a traditional price-fixed menu or more sophisticated cuisine à la carte.

    In the afternoon, the flowery village of Giverny will surprise you with its beautiful streets and the enduring presence of the impressionist painters  in the windows of contemporary galleries. You should particularly enjoy the guided tour of Monet's House, famous for its gardens, ponds and the water lilies that inspired the paintings Les Nymphéas.

    Monet’s house also includes a wonderful kitchen, which attests to Claude Monet’s second passion, gastronomy! You will have the opportunity to open his recipes books and discover the specialties of that time, such as pain perdu or poultry supreme.
