📍 Destination Overview
Giverny, a pretty Norman village on the Seine, so charmed Monet in 1883 that he lived here for 43 years. The pink, green-shuttered house revives his yellow dining room and Japanese prints; the garden's Japanese bridge and lily pond inspired his Nymphéas series. Open May through November, it draws pilgrims of Impressionism, with a nearby museum completing the visit.
