Residence of Claude Monet at Giverny
Giverny is a pretty village 80 km from Paris in the Haute-Normandy region, made famous by the artist Claude Monet. The artist noticed this place from the window while traveling by train. Monet liked Giverny so much that he decided to move here to live. In 1880, he saved up enough money to buy a house here and a piece of land adjacent to it, where he subsequently planted a magnificent garden with his own hands. Fellow artists often visited Monet in Giverny. Matisse, Cezanne, Renoir, Pissarro and others have been here. Knowing about the owner's passion for flowers, friends brought him plants as a gift. Thus, Monet got, for example, tree-like peonies brought from Japan. In his works, the artist immortalized numerous places of his beloved garden. Monet lived in Giverny from 1883, where he died in 1926. He and many members of his family are buried in the local village cemetery.
In 1980, after a long restoration, the garden and Claude Monet's house-museum became open to the public. Now it is one of the most popular tourist destinations, especially in the summer. . . We visited Giverny in October, at which time it is also very beautiful. If you have the opportunity, be sure to visit Giverny! : )
