France has always been noted for the beauty of its architecture, streets, gardens, and parks. One of the most beautiful and scenic places in the suburbs of Paris is the village of Giverny. It became famous because Claude Monet, the great landscape artist of the 19th century, once lived and worked there. Having settled there, he became interested in gardening and created a wonderful garden of a beauty equal to that of his paintings.
The garden will amaze you with the abundance of bright, rich colors, and flower and tree species variety. The family members and friends of the artist brought some of the specimens from various exotic countries.

The garden includes Claude Monet’s estate, which consists of two parts: the main manor with a flower garden, and the Japanese Garden with many oriental plants, water lilies, and weeping willows. Right in front of the house, there is the Japanese Garden, whose main feature is a pedestrian bridge draped with purple wisteria. It becomes gorgeous in spring, when alpine roses, azaleas, and countryside peonies bloom, transforming the wooden bridge into a fairy-tale one. The bridge has long become a favorite place for those who want to take beautiful photos as a keepsake.

The water garden is hidden behind trees. Everyone who gets here freezes reflexively because of the splendor they see: water lilies, bamboo thickets, and Japanese peonies surround a large quiet pond. This place will be ideal for a comfortable walk and pastime with family and children. The pond has a very winding waterfront and several small thrown across bridges, which are also very beautifully decorated with diverse flowers.

This place is perfect for those who want to spend time in peace, enjoy the silence and picturesque nature, take an exciting walk, and learn about the life and work of the great artist Claude Monet.
