Things to do in Claude Monet's House
Claude Monet, impressionist painter of fame from the late 19th and early 20th century, is one of history’s best-known artists. His water lily paintings have gone into history as the most beautiful impressionist expression of nature, created from the comfort and haven of the artists own home where he dedicated a good part of his life to furnishing and gardening with colors that would be an inspiration to his art.
Monet established himself in Giverny, and lived there for forty-three years, from1883 to 1926, with the barn next to the house that was his first studio, with wooden floor and stairs leading to the main house. Monet, who mostly painted in the open air, needed a place where to store and finish his canvases.
Above the studio, Monet had his own apartment, a large bedroom and a bathroom. The left side of the house was his side, where he could work and sleep.
Giverny attracted shortly after the peak of Monet’s artistic career a great movement of American impressionists, attempting to follow in the French painter’s footsteps.
The Claude Monet Foundation is open daily from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.

Reviews Claude Monet's House
“Bonjour, Nous ne regrettons pas l'expérience. Par contre, il y avait beaucoup trop de monde, ce qui a gâché la visite. Nous estimons que l'accès devrait être limité à un certain nombres de personnes pour rendre la visite agréable et dans de bonnes conditions. Bonne journée”
