Discover this little haven of peace in Normandy only 1 hour and 15 minutes away from Paris, where Claude Monet lived for forty years. It is there that he painted his gorgeous water lilies series, which is considered the first contemporary art “installation”, and which source of inspiration was partly this garden.
When Monet arrived in Giverny, he endowed it with two beautiful gardens and redecorated the country house according to bourgeois tastes, though he was but a tenant of the estate.
