Monet's House and Garden
Claude Monet was a French impressionist painter who lived from 1840 to 1926. He loved his beautiful garden and enjoyed painting there, just like we hope you will enjoy this garden, too! There is a little house styled like Monet's house in Giverny, France. You can walk inside and see how it might have looked in his era, listen to the gentle flowing of Huckleberry Creek just outside, and enjoy lots of other things to do in Monet's house and garden!
