We flew into Paris on October 13 and wanted to spend our first day in a quiet place to recover from an overnight flight. This was the perfect spot. Yes, the room is 2 flights up, but we only carried up necessities and left the luggage in the car (secure parking). We snoozed for a bit and then made our way to Monet's Garden and house. It was late afternoon so no crowds. Francois speaks about as much English as I speak French (bonjour, au voi, etc.). We had no problem communicating and breakfast was traditional French fare including her homemade jams. I highly recommend!

Francois is a delight!

I stayed here with my mother in September for 4 nights.  We booked it for its historical charm, as it was owned by Monet and he used part of the grounds for his vegetable garden.  The very hospitable Madam Etinault owns the house now and hosted breakfast each morning of super homemade jams and fresh croissant and baguette.  

La Maison Bleue only accomodates one couple and the attic space was entirely ours, with a massive bathroom with deep bath, a little library area and a large french country style bedroom with pretty views of the surrounding hills and area. We enjoyed a little outdoors garden area with table and chairs for a glass of wine before heading out for an atmospheric scenic stroll up the main lane of Giverny past lots of historical buildings.  It is a 15 minute walk to the Monet gardens and 5-10 mins walk along the main lane for the few restaurants in Giverny. 

We really felt we had gone back in time to the early last century, as this area is really untouched, bar the very few cars that pass along.  The main lane is blocked to cars at weekend but the side lane from the main road gave us access to the off road car parking at the front of the house and access out to the surrounding pretty villages.

I highly recommend this for couples looking to get away from the modern world to a place of peace, atmosphere, beauty, culture and history that is La Maison Bleue and Giverny.

Absolutely Lovely

The owner Mme Etinault made us feel very welcome and allowed us to come and go as we pleased without us disturbing her or her us.
This is a perfect B&B if you want something more authentic than the square room of an Etap. 15-20mins stroll will take you to Monet's gardens and round the picturesque village of Giverny.
The room was light, airy, clean and the bed very comfortable.

Excellent B&B close to Monet's gardens

The room(s) comprise most of the top floor of an old house in the centre of Giverny, a fair sized and equipped bedroom accompanied by a large bathroom. As in many old houses, the floors slope a bit and the feeling is a little rustic though the rooms are furnished in a modern fashion and were spotless.

There is ample car parking at the house behind closed gates at night, for added security.

Though the stairs are narrow and the room unsuited to the very elderly or those that have difficulty with stairs, the rooms and the warm welcome from Mme Etinault made the two flights worthwhile. Mme Etinault gave us a simple breakfast of croissant, bread, juice and tea, coffee or chocolate and we had access to come and go as we pleased over our three night stay.

It is a 20 minute walk to Monet's garden and on busy days it is worthwhile taking advantage of that to be at the front of the queue when the gardens open at 9-30am. There are only souvenir shops in the village but there are a few places to eat during the day - fewer in the evening. However, nearby Vernon has more facilities and more brasseries and restaurants though once again some of those do not serve food in the evening and on Sunday, service in the evening is very limited.

We got by with limited french but Mme Etinault has only a few words of English though enough, I'm sure, to make herself understood.

We had a very pleasant stay and would readily recommend this to others wishing to visit the area.

Lovely attric room in old house

Like so many cottage or farmhouse rentals in upper France, few of the hosts know how to decorate with good taste and true charm. It's more like just throw a bunch of mix-matched furniture around the room, or from IKEA with nothing blending in decor, color or style and charge a fair price. No thank you. If you want to see true good taste, of which there is little in Normandy for accommodation for 4 people, look at google images of "french farmhouse" decor. These folks would be doing themselves a service if they actually took some time and make more effort to decorate in a tasteful style. It's almost impossible to find lovely tasteful french farmhouse decor anywhere in France, and this place, other than the white bedroom suffers greatly from a lack of it. This was not Monet's house, his gardener lived here.
