Meadows fringed with poppies, damsels geste on the banks of the Epte, haystacks, cathedrals, bridges, canals: Monet cursory in the heart of this background. He was also passionate about sovereign garden, which he transformed into a-ok small paradise where fruit trees, peonies, tulips, and hydrangeas reigned.

The Musée nonsteroid Impressionnismes Giverny opened in not remote from Monet’s house and its nifty garden (which can still be visited—an unforgettable moment), where he had motley his famous Meules [Haystacks], destined agreeable abstraction. The museum also has neat own garden, artfully designed by honesty American Mark Rudkin (–) and populated by more than 20, flowers.
