Claude Monet's House and Water Garden (Maison de Claude Monet et Le Jardin d'eau)

The Impressionist painter Claude Monet, who was born in Paris in 1840, spent the latter part of his life in Giverny in Northern France. Monet purchased a house in the village in 1883 and remained there until his death in 1926. Today, visitors can see the renovated house and wander around the beautiful gardens at Giverny. Inside the house, the walls are filled with a collection of Monet’s Japanese prints. Visitors can also see a beautiful display of waterlilies in the gardens which greatly inspired the painter and featured in some of his most famous works.
