Had to visit the famed home of Impressionist painter Claude Monet. He lived and worked in Giverny from 1883 until his death in 1926. Monet had a beautiful, rural home and over the years created elaborate country gardens. He even diverted a creek to form the lovely lily ponds after the fashion of the Japanese water gardens often depicted in the many Japanese wood block prints he collected. Couldn’t decide which was more beautiful – the actual gardens, or Monet’s wonderful paintings of them!
