Giverny : Maison Et Jardins de Claude Monet

A Living Palette in the Heart of Normandy Stepping through the gates of the Giverny estate is like entering a Claude Monet painting. The master of Impressionism lived there for 43 years, shaping his home and gardens into a work of art in their own right. The house, with its pink facade and green shutters, has retained all its period charm: visitors can explore the studio-living room, the famous bright yellow dining room, and the blue Rouen-tiled kitchen. Each room reflects the painter's daily life and his passion for Japanese prints, creating a warm and intensely colorful atmosphere. The exterior is divided into two distinct parts: the Clos Normand, a symmetrical flower garden with metal arches laden with roses, and the Water Garden, located across the road. It was here, around the water lily pond and the famous Japanese bridge, that Monet found the inspiration for his most celebrated series. Among the wisteria, weeping willows and water lilies, the garden offers a spectacle that changes with the seasons and the light, making each visit a unique sensory experience where nature and painting become one.
