Opened in 2000 under the guidance of Gilbert Vahé, the former head gardener of the original Giverny garden, it is not a mere copy but incorporates unique beauty enhanced by Kochi's climate, light, and surrounding mountains and sea. The facility is closed on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from June to October, as well as from December 1 to the end of February. Therefore, we will either visit a different location on those days or choose an alternative destination instead of this one.
