Giverny - Monets Garden

Giverny is the village in Normandy, France, where Claude Monet lived and worked from 1883 until his death in 1926. His former home and gardens are now open to the public through the Fondation Claude Monet. Visitors walk through the carefully maintained flower gardens that inspired many of Monet's paintings, including the famous water lily pond crossed by a Japanese bridge. The property includes the artist's pink-stucco house with original furnishings and his collection of Japanese prints. Families can explore the paths, observe seasonal plantings, and see the setting that became central to Impressionist art history.
