This Spring I was fortunate to make a return visit to Claude Monet's superb garden at Giverny in France.The house was as pretty (and pink!) as ever and the front beds were in full bloom with pink tulips and blue forget me nots - a heavenly combination.
Claude Monet lived in this charming house with his family from 1883 until his death in 1926.
He was happy here and painted so many of his magnificent works in the studio at Giverny. Even with failing eye sight he painted the Waterlilies series which now hang in the Orangerie near The Louvre in Paris. See them if you can!
The Clos Nomand is a sight to behold in summer when roses climb across these arches and in Autumn when colourful nasturtiums cover the pathway just as they did when Monet lived here.
