Giverny is absolutely beautiful.
This is the place where Claude Monet spent most of his life until his death.
It is about an hour and a half out of paris by bus and is a hectare of land. Here, he has his country family home, three studios, and his vast gardens, both for his home, and those that are strictly the water lily ponds.
The place is fantastically picturesque and the japanese bridge and water gardens are stunning to see in person. Its the opening scene in Midnight in Paris and the subject of many of Monet's later works including the huge waterlily panels present in the orangerie and MoMA. The japanese bridges and their reflections in the lily ponds are also prominent subjects in his paintings.
There are flowers, and different forms of greenery everywhere making this phenomenal. Simple, and elegant. If I had a land like this, I would be obsessed with it and paint it all the time as well.
