A series of oil painting featured his Japanese foot bridge over the lily pond in Giverney.
No one seemed to mind waiting to enter Monet's House because the gardens were so lovely. He lived there from 1883 until his death in 1926.
After touring Monet's house and seeing his grand collection of Japanese engravings, Doug and I couldn't pass up a photo with these glorious Morning Glories. Monet's son Michael in 1966 bequeathed the house to a group now responsible for its preservation. The Claude Monet Foundation opened the house, gardens and pond to the public in 1980 after major restoration.
The gardens were lovely - everywhere!
