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

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.

museum and Marmottan
museum in Paris.
