When we encounter the patronage of Saint Thomas, most people outside Great Britain probably think involuntarily of the time of Christ, some two thousand years back. This is because one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus called to follow him bears this name. In the Gospels, he is known as "Didymos," which means "twin" in Greek. In this case, however, the chosen patronage refers to Saint Thomas Becket (1118–1170), also known as Thomas of Canterbury after the place of his episcopal see and martyrdom.

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.

The path above Monet's gardens in Giverny leads through a beautiful landscape that includes both vineyards and wide meadows. From here you have a picturesque view of the valley, where the lush green of the fields and forests stretches out. In spring and summer, the meadows are often interspersed with poppies, which provide a bright red contrast to the lush nature. The vineyards along the path blend harmoniously into the picture and create a calming atmosphere, ideal for a short rest or simply to let your gaze wander into the distance.
