| If you come to Paris and are fond of
impressionist painters, don't miss the village of Giverny.
80km West from Paris,
Giverny is an old and charming French village alongside the Seine
river.
Claude Monet, the famous impressionnist painter, lived in
Giverny from 1883 until his death in 1926. His lovely Giverny house is
now a great museum.
Claude Monet worked very hard to turn his Giverny garden into a source of
painting inspiration.

Very well maintained and kept in its original design, the
garden will remind you of so many famous paintings of Claude Monet, who used
it as a model.
The Japanese bridge and the waterlilies are among the well known
treasures he so often painted.
Giverny will be an excellent complement to visits to the Orsay
museum and Marmottan
museum in Paris.
