You have to take the train to Vernon from Gare St. Lazare (Rue St. Lazare) near the Printemps Dept. Store at Boul. Hausmann.

The bus/taxi stop is just outside the Vernon train station. I took this route last year just before spring when you still do not have that much tourists.

I am not sure how big the crowd is around the time you are going. It took sometime for us to wait for the taxi or the bus. When we arrived in Giverny which is around 20 minutes from Vernon, there was already a long line to the entrance of Monet's house. It was about an hour´s wait till you're able to get in.

I hope this helps.
