More on Giverny gardens

The Hermitage

This Norman manor out of stones and timbers was initially built in the 17th Century.

But the story has it that the king Saint Louis came to this remote place to pray when he stayed at Vernon, and that he founded a monastery here as early as 1260.

Environement

The Hermitage is located in a natural setting on the road between Vernon and Giverny, five minutes away from musée Monet (or 35 mn walking).

The estate is built against the hill in front of a pasture. A grassy lane leads to the riverside, a nice place for a picnic. 

The Guest Rooms

Two rooms are at your disposal in the eastern wing, which is the most comfortable part of the house, the main building being still under restoration.

Each room has got its own access opening directly onto the garden. 

Breakfasts are served in the rooms.

You can relax in the 5000 m2 garden. 

Car park in the estate.

Bedroom "The Flowers"

This room of about 18m2 is located on the upper floor of a wing of the house. It has a private access by a staircase leading to the garden. It accomodates a couple or a single person.

The Flowers bedroom is equipped with a small shower room with WC.

This part of the house was built in the twenties. 
The fire place added in 1971 inspired a pop decoration in a vintage spirit.
