Monet lived and gardened at this Giverny property from 1883 to 1926, and the house and gardens were restored to their original state in the late 1970s. Visitors can explore the pink-mortar house, the Clos Normand flower garden, and the water garden with its famous lily pond, arched bridge, and bamboo-lined stream.
The site is open seasonally from April to November and draws visitors worldwide as one of Normandy's most-visited attractions.

Reviews
Yep it's busy, but you can't argue against tourism if you are one of the tourists. Apart from a 20 minute queue for the house, the gardens were as I expected, beautiful. It is well worth visiting the museum first and understanding how the house fitted into his life and work.
