Monet`s house
The village of Giverny in Normandy is a popular destination for art lovers and tourists who want to discover the place where Claude Monet, the master of impressionism, lived and painted for over 40 years. He created a beautiful garden with water lilies, a Japanese bridge, and colourful flowers that inspired some of his most famous works, such as the Water Lilies series.
The village also attracted other American impressionist artists who came to visit Monet and admire the scenery, such as Theodore Earl Butler and Frederick Carl Frieseke. Today, visitors can explore Monet's house and garden, which have been restored by the Foundation Claude Monet, a nonprofit organisation that preserves his legacy. They can also visit the Museum of Impressionism Giverny, which showcases the history of impressionism and the Giverny art colony, and the Hotel Baudy, which was once the centre of artistic life in Giverny, where Monet and his friends used to dine and paint.
