Springtime in Claude Monet's garden, Giverny, France
The village of Giverny in northern France – about 50 miles west of Paris – is best known as the location of Claude Monet's house and gardens, pictured here. The French master of impressionism lived and painted in Giverny from 1883 to his death in 1926 and was a passionate horticulturist. The artist's breathtaking gardens, including the iconic water lily pond and Japanese bridge, inspired some of his most prominent paintings. The gardens and house have been open to the public since 1980 and still draw hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
