Seasonality
April – June — Garden opens 1 April. Highest demand on weekends and bank holidays. Book 3–4 weeks ahead for Saturday day trips.
July – August — Peak season. Median fares hold (we do not surge), but availability tightens. Weekday departures recommended.
September – October — Best ratio: full bloom on water lilies, lighter crowds, same prices.
November – March — Giverny gardens closed (Monet's Foundation). Demand shifts to Vernon, Rouen, Honfleur, Étretat day trips and CDG/Orly transfers; same fare structure.
