A little history

Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883 with his family and lived there for forty-three years, until his death. He bought the property in 1890 and transformed the Clos Normand, a plot of about one hectare planted with an apple orchard and a vegetable garden. In 1893, he acquired the land on the other side of the railway line and diverted a branch of the Epte river to create a pond, crossed by a Japanese bridge painted green. From 1897, the water lilies of this Water Garden became one of his great subjects: in 1922, he donated a set of Water Lilies paintings to the French State, installed in 1927 in the two oval rooms of the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris.

Monet died in Giverny on 5 December 1926, aged 86. In 1966, his son Michel bequeathed the property to the Académie des beaux-arts. Restored from 1977 with the support of the Eure department and of French and American patrons, the house and gardens opened to the public in 1980.
