"Monet's Café in Giverny"

Monet went for coffee or ..." un aperitif , s'il vous plait " ... just over the road.. Nowadays us city dwellers feel very well in his surroundings indulging our petit bourgeois passion for picnicking in the countryside where Monet once lived in Normandie - France just an hour outside of Paris

Monet, the gourmet liked good food and he liked cakes and wine. This is what we can try out in France, in Giverny the little village where he lived, in his next door neighbor's cafe: a piece of his favorite cake or tarte with lots of rich cream and cherries ... I can understand why ........

The Bistro offers a tasty selection of light fare in a country French setting. Enjoy a wonderful meal, a little snack or just a light french red wine or a cold beer as a nice finish of your day at Monet's Gardens and his Home.

You can easily imagine the artist going over after a day's work and relax here, chatting and laughing with his neighbors and enjoying the good life with a little drop of rouge ....

Plein Air Painting Competition in Monet's Town

Fête de la peinture in Giverny France - Plain Air Painting competition in Monet's town Giverny
Claude Monet invented gardens that evoke his painting, always in motion, where the light reveals colors in continual vibration. International Plein Air Painters compete in Giverny but for sure it is the feeling to be at their master's home that is so important to them apart from the competition.

Monet's Poppies in Giverny

Claude Monet (1840 – 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise. Claude Monet lived in Giverny a small town one hour from Paris where he painted his Waterlilies, Nympheas and all the other beautiful flowers in his spectacular garden.
