Monet was always fascinated by the light interplays and cloud reflections on the water. His many artworks painted on his floating studio, in Argenteuil or on Dutch canals, illustrate his fascination for the upside-down reflections in those liquid mirrors. In 1893, he acquired land at the bottom of Clos Normand, on the other side of the train tracks, and diverted the Ru, a small branch of the River Epte. The pond created by this diversion would become the water garden that features on the picture rails of the world’s greatest museums.
When Monet moved to Giverny, the long pink render house had a 1-hectare garden comprising an apple orchard and a kitchen garden. A central path lined with cypress and spruce
Monet moved to Giverny in 1883. He worked tirelessly to transform the neglected estate into the floral masterpiece that inspired many of his greatest artworks.

You cannot mention Giverny without instantly thinking of water lilies. These freshwater flowering plants come from the Nymphaeaceae family and Claude Monet kept that Latin name in reference to the water creatures, nymphs, rather than using the standard French word ‘nénuphars’. With their white, red and pink colours and changing reflections on the water’s surface, water lilies were Monet’s final great pictorial passion.
Orange, red or yellow: nasturtiums come in warm colours that evoke their native South America and their family, Tropaeolaceae.
The summer perennial agapanthus, or ‘flower of love’ in Greek, is large and tall with stems that can reach over a metre high. Featuring blue and white flowers that form beautiful spheres, agapanthus love sunshine and hate the cold.
Claude Monet lived at his home in Giverny from 1883 to 1926, a total of forty-three years. As passionate about gardening as he was about color, he conceived his flower and water gardens as works of art in themselves. Walking through his garden and home, visitors can still feel the atmosphere that reigned in the master of Impressionism, and marvel at the flower compositions and water lilies that were his most fertile sources of inspiration.
While all of Monet’s artworks at Giverny have been moved to Musée Marmottan Monet, fans of art will be happy to know they can still see the artist’s collection of Japanese prints.
As you step inside Monet’s house, imagine it bustling with a stampede of eight children and Claude Monet’s trips between his studio and garden, the atmosphere in the kitchen from early morning when the vegetables arrived fresh from the kitchen garden, people coming home from the market, and friends arriving from Paris.
The Claude Monet’s House and Gardens - Giverny gift and book store is located in the large water lilies studio. In that 300 sqm space, a range of 2,500 items relating to Claude Monet’s artworks and gardens are available for visitors to purchase.
Claude Monet lived in his Giverny house for 43 years, from 1883 to 1926. As passionate about gardening as he was about colours, he designed his flower and water gardens as veritable artworks. Visitors wandering around his garden and house can still experience the atmosphere that reigned when the master of impressionism lived there and can marvel at the floral compositions and water lilies that were Monet’s most fertile sources of inspiration.

La collection est variée et comprend pour moitié des pièces célèbres d'Utamaro, Hokusai et Hiroshige mais également des œuvres plus rares de Eiri et Eisho ou Sharaku.

Monet's Garden at Giverny : Rescue and Restoration Editions Claude Monet Giverny Text by Valerie Bougaukt with Nicole Boschung ISBN 978 - 2 - 35340 - 335 - 6 When Gérald Van Der Kemp arrived at Giverny in 1974, he was greeted by a desolate prospect of dead trees, muddy quagmires and tangled thickets of brambles and weeds. Monet's sadly neglected house and garden, bequeathed by his son Michel Monet to theAcadémie des Beaux-Arts, offered a challenge to which Gérald Van Der Kemp, formerly the chief curator of the Palace of Versailles, was to prove more than equal. With the aid of head gardener Gilbert Vahé, he replaced the dead trees, cleared the overgrown flowerbds, rebuilt the Japanese bridge and widened the paths, ready to welcome the visitors who now flock to Monet's garden.

Linnea in Monet's Garden Christina Björk & Lena Anderson Sourcebooks Jabberwocky 46 pages
Linnea has been in Paris. And she has visited the painter Claude Monet's garden! She even stood on the same little Japanese bridge that Monet painted so often in his pictures. In Paris, Linnea got to see many of the real paintings. Now she can understand what it means to be called an Impressionist, and she knows a lot about Monet's life in the pink house where he lived with his eight children.
Through this detailed exploration of the works that Monet chose to hang in his drawing room-studio and his bedroom at Giverny, Sylvie Patin, General Curator at the Musée d'Orsay and Corresponding Member of the Institut de France, invites us inside this « design for living » created by Monet himself. In these private spaces, he lived his daily life surrounded by the works of his friends, a ditinguished group of outstandin artists including Boudin, Jonking, Manet, Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Caillebotte, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Cézanne and Signac. From this perceptive account there emerges a compelling portrait of the father of Impressionism, with all the generosity of his tastes, the warmth of his friendships, and the strenght of his exceptional character.
Grâce à l'étude du salon-atelier et de la chambre de Giverny, Sylvie Patin, Conservateur général au musée d'Orsay et correspondant de l'Institut, nous introduit dans ce «décor d'existence» créé par le peintre qui y vivait entouré de ses toiles et des œuvres de ses amis : Boudin, Jongking, Manet, Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Caillebotte, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Cézanneet Signac. Elle dessine ainsi un portrait de Monet avec les traits de caractère illustrant cette personnalité d'exception.
