To nejlepší z Giverny

Giverny Essentials

Giverny served as Claude Monet’s home and primary inspiration from 1883 until 1926.

It also includes the Musée des Impressionnismes, the Romanesque Église Sainte-Radegonde where the artist is buried, and the former studio that now serves as the foundation's visitor shop.
