Giverny's House & Gardens, famously home to renowned Impressionist painter Claude Monet, is a breathtaking oasis of natural beauty and artistic inspiration.
Stepping into Monet's former residence transports visitors to the serene world depicted in his masterpieces. The meticulously maintained gardens, with their vibrant flowerbeds, serene ponds, and iconic Japanese bridge, evoke the same sense of tranquility and harmony that captivated Monet himself.
Exploring the house reveals glimpses of the artist's life and work, adding depth to the experience. Whether admiring the water lilies or strolling through the flower-lined pathways, Giverny's House & Gardens is a haven for art lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Giverny, the world-famous garden town in France, is an original art town
Monet's Garden is the former residence of the famous French painter Monet, divided into a water garden and a flower garden. The flower garden, also known as the Normandy Garden, is located in front of the house, rectangular in shape, covering about one hectare. The water garden is an artificial lake, filled with water lilies!
Monet did not plant flowers according to their varieties in different places, but mixed all kinds of flowers, from the most common to the rarest, together!
Not only are they staggered in height, but they also pay great attention to the coordination of colors. Red, brown, orange, blue and other tones of flowers are scattered among them, presenting a natural visual dynamism!

Speaking of Elephant Trunk Hill, we must first talk about the French painter Monet, one of the founders of Impressionism, and also its representative. You should have heard of the famous "Sunrise Impression"?
Monet was born in Paris. At the age of 5, the family moved to Le Havre in the Normandy region. So when he grew up, Monet painted his hometown of Le Havre. Not only that, the Elephant Trunk Hill near Le Havre became a Monet dish.
With Monet's eyes on the country, the scenery in front of him becomes an oil painting.
Back to Elephant Trunk Hill, as the name suggests, is the mountain that looks like a nose. There are three elephant trunk mountains in the Elephant Trunk Mountain Scenic Area. Because it is also called Elephant Trunk Hill, it is a friendly scenic spot with the Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin.

Cathedral of Our Lady of Rouen. This is a very standard Gothic building. Monet has painted dozens of different colors of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Rouen, all without exception.

Come, you feel, I chose a color I like, blue is the warmest color.
As an ancient city with a thousand-year history, strolling through the streets of Rouen in Rouen, the monuments are not difficult to pick up - the Cathedral of Our Lady, the Church of St. Markalu, the Church of Joan of Arc... Its really silly to not do the homework in advance. As the landmark building of Rouen, the Cathedral of Our Lady attracts countless visitors from all over the world.

Rouen is situated in Normandy, the northern region of France.
Rouen is the capital of Normandy (the hometown of Gabriel from Emily in Paris), and it’s a really nice quaint little town.
in the city centre of Rouen sits the Gros Horloge (Great Clock), which is a 14th century astronomical clock made in 1389. It is installed in a Renaissance arch crossing the busy street of Rue de Gros-Horloge.
The city centre is bustling and everywhere around this monument is filled with little cafes, shops, and many other sites such as the Joan of Arc museum.
It is an interesting place to visit and would be nice to experience!
