Claude Monet lived in his Giverny house for 43\u00a0years, 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\u2019s most fertile sources of inspiration.<\/p>\n
