Fondation Claude Monet – Giverny
Claude Monet lived in his house in Giverny for forty-three years, from 1883 to 1926. With a passion for gardening as well as for colours, he conceived both his flower garden and water garden as true works of art. Walking through his house and gardens, visitors can still feel the atmosphere which reigned at the home of the Master of Impressionism and marvel at the floral compositions and nymphéas, his greatest sources of inspiration.
