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

One of the pictures that Claude MONET (1840 to 1926) painted with the motif of the "Japanese Bridge" in his garden (it became a series over time) can be viewed via the following link => https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Monet#/media/Datei:Claude_Monet,_The_Water-Lily_Pond_(National_Gallery,_London).jpg

Not just for art lovers: a visit to Monet's garden is overwhelmingly beautiful. To this day, flowers and plants are arranged exactly as Monet planned, paying particular attention to the play of colors. The bridge of his famous painting "Japanese Bridge" (which can be admired in the Metropolitan, NYC) has been preserved here in its original state. - It is fun to walk across this bridge. - Tip: the visit should be planned in summer, when everything is in full bloom, and you should also come in the morning when it is less crowded. - The interior of his house is also open to visitors and is included in the price.

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

A wonderful garden that, due to its size, could actually be described as a park. Due to the crowds, it is advisable to get tickets online.

Definitely worth seeing!!! - Due to the high demand, it is worth booking tickets online to avoid having to wait in an endless line.
