The Epte River, a small and scenic watercourse in northern France, flows through Normandy and is famous for its peaceful landscapes, particularly around Giverny, where it served as inspiration for Claude Monet’s garden. The water temperature in the Epte varies with the seasons. In the colder months, it averages around 6-8°C (43-46°F), and in summer, it can rise to 18-20°C (64-68°F), making it more pleasant for casual water activities and wading.
Swimming in the Epte is possible, especially in calmer, shallower areas. However, it is not a widely popular swimming destination due to its size and some sections having denser vegetation along the banks. Instead, visitors often enjoy canoeing, kayaking, and riverside picnics, as the gentle flow and serene setting provide a relaxing environment for outdoor activities. For those interested in art and history, the area around the Epte also offers beautiful paths near Monet's house, where visitors can experience the landscapes that influenced his works.
