Avoid weekends during peak season if you want to visit...

For a long time, our ancestors have observed nature and learned to harness the often unbridled power of the elements, including flowing water. What makes this place special is the unusual technology used: it was not a "normal" water mill that was built, but a very unusual construction in which the wheels were hung in the arches.

This Harten, which is the size of a small park, is a total work of art. I am not judging it from a botanical perspective, but as someone who paints under the influence of impressionism. Incidentally, his Japanese bridge can be admired as a painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, (“Met”), in New York. I have already looked at several important museums in the world (the Museum of Modern Art in NYC was disappointing), and can therefore say that the Met is a museum of superlatives, without going into too much detail. Monet is represented here with around 15 works.

In 1893, ten years after his arrival in Giverny, Monet bought the plot of land adjacent to his property, on the other side of the railway and road. It was crossed by a small stream, the Ru, a branch of the Epte. With the support of the prefecture, Monet had the first small pond dug, despite opposition from his peasant neighbors, who feared that his strange plants would poison the water. Later, the pond was enlarged to its current size. The water garden is asymmetrical and curved. Monet was inspired by Japanese gardens, which he knew from prints. The painter was a passionate collector of Japanese woodcuts.

A visit to Claude Monet's house and garden in Giverny is a fascinating journey into the life and inspiration of the famous artist. While the house itself is an interesting insight into Monet's daily life, it is often crowded, especially in the warmer months, so it is advisable to plan an afternoon visit when it is a little quieter. Spring and autumn are also considered to be more pleasant times to visit, as crowds are lower and the garden offers a special atmosphere. The garden, which Monet himself designed, is a real highlight. Especially in spring, the flowers shine in a sea of color, while the pond with the iconic water lilies and the famous Japanese bridge that Monet immortalized in many of his paintings exudes a calming atmosphere. The garden is divided into two parts: the Clos Normand with its formal and colorful flowerbeds and the exotic water garden, which has an Asian touch. The garden shows how Monet masterfully combined colors and lighting to bring his works to life. For those who want to enjoy the garden in peace, it is worth visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon. A tour with a guide or a pre-booked entrance ticket can also help you avoid long queues

Emblem of Vernon, this strange mill on the right bank of the Seine is distinguished by its hanging wheel suspended above the river.
