Giverny: Show me the Monet

The gardens of Giverny are justly famous both for the actual flowers and for the paintings done in the 19c by Mr. Monet. But the house is quite special too.

The Entrance Hall has wonderful Japanese prints.

The kitchen with it's great cast iron stove and blue and white tiles. State of the art for the time.


The Dining Room is painted yellow.....bright sunlight yellow with a collection of blue and white. The dishes can still be purchased from Limoges.

The famous water lilies and the japanese footbridge.
