Introduction

Monet's home is located 88 kilometers northwest of Paris, in Upper Normandy province, where there is a beautiful garden now known as "Monet's Garden." Monet moved here in 1883 and spent much of his life here. He created many iconic works and once said, "My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece." Today, 85 years later, Monet's Garden remains in its original state. In April, tulips bloom; in summer, water lilies are most famous; and before closing in October, chrysanthemums bloom. Whenever you visit, you can find the colors from Monet's paintings here.
