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
“We were told to meet at one place and then the tour leader was about 30 mins late. Then we all had to walk down the road to a different place to meet the bus. Then we couldn't hear or understand what information given to us on the bus. The bus was comfortable but the whole experience was a disorganised shambles”
“Darauf, dass der Audioguide aus einer App besteht, hätte schon bei der Buchung hingewiesen werden müssen, dann hätte sie entspannt vorher heruntergeladen werden können. Das Passwort zur Inbetriebnahme dann bei Tourbeginn, das ist o.k. Auch wenn wir nicht betroffen waren, die Führerin hat ihren Stiefel durchgezogen und und hat keine Rücksicht auf langsame Mitreisende genommen. Die Informationen im Bus, waren recht dürftig. Giverny war sehr schön, aber diese Tour würden wir nicht weiterempfehlen !”
“Monets Garten - ein Ort, an dem man gewesen sein muss.Zudem sehr gut organisiert, kompetente Reiseleitung. Empfehlenswert”
