It is a village in the region of Normandy in northern France where the impressionist painter Claude Monet lived and worked here from 1883 until his death in 1926. There are two parts in Monet’s garden namely: Japanese inspired water garden on the other side of the road and a flower garden called Clos Normand in front of his house.
Taking a stroll over the splendid Japanese inspired bridge, you will immensely get drawn in his work of art. Monet restored this old bridge and construct and designed it together with a local craftsman.
The other area is a bloom filled garden which is truly breathtaking and divided into multiple arrays of flowerbeds. Fruit trees, other ornamental trees and Monet’s mixture of daisies and poppies and pleasing to the eyes. The central valley is filled with climbing roses with its different varieties.
With the abundance of nature and Monet’s dedication to his garden, he did not like to organize his garden. Instead, he just let the flowers bloom and left them with its beautiful glow.
