Passionate about gardening and color variations, he designed his flower garden, orchard and water garden as if they were works of art. Visiting the gardens of Giverny, you will see the central avenue leading to the house, lined with different varieties of nasturtiums and roses, as well as multicolored flower beds filled with tulips, daffodils, daffodils, irises and peonies. Stroll through the flower garden of Clos Normand, which is home to many plants of oriental origin, until you reach the sumptuous water garden, famous for its water lilies, weeping willows and the green-painted Japanese bridge (bridges like this are traditionally red in Japan) . Let yourself be fascinated by the unique atmosphere of Giverny, its light and the reflection of the clouds on the water.
Take the opportunity to explore Monet's pink-plastered house, where he lived and worked for many years. Discover the blue reading room, which leads to the pantry and Claude Monet's studio, where the doyen of the French Impressionists worked until 1889. These rooms, as well as those of his private apartments, have been reconstructed with the original furniture that was already at home in Monet's time. Visit the sunny yellow dining room, reconstructed down to the smallest detail. It was very modern for the time, with earthenware dishes and a kitchen tiled with local blue and white Rouen tiles. In the dining room, admire one of the world's most important collections of Japanese prints.
At the end of your visit, take advantage of the village and the lovely souvenir and book shop; it is housed in what was once the studio where Monet painted the enormous canvases of the Water Lilies. It spans more than 3,200 square feet! The shop offers a wide range of products related to the impressionist's work: postcards, posters, tea, books, official Claude Monet tableware, flower and plant seeds.
