Giverny & Monet's Gardens
24. juni 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
This morning we visited the village of Giverny and the gardens designed and built by artist Claude Monet. He lived there from 1873 until his death in 1926 and was where he painted many of his most famous works.

The gardens were in full bloom and were spectacular with plenty of colour.

Unfortunately, there were also plenty of people - it was a Saturday, warm and sunny and there were river cruise liners moored in the nearby Seine. You could barely move, which made it quite unpleasant and every one of them wanted the perfect selfie with multiple shots, especially on the lily pond bridge.

The queues to get in his house and even the gift shop were ridiculous so we gave both a miss.

But the flowers and gardens were still spectacular!! I managed to take some photos avoiding other people.Les mer

Reisende There’s a really good video of the inside of Monet’s house if you google you should find it. With too many people you wouldn’t have been able to see it properly anyway. If you have the chance to get to the L’Orangerie in Paris they specially built an oval shaped gallery to accommodate his monstrous water lily paintings. Having been to the garden you would really appreciate them now.

Wenn ich groß bin werd ich Impressionist
7. juni 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
… und dann bau ich mir auch so einen Garten wie Claude Monet: mit allen möglichen bunten Blumen, einem See mit Brücken, Booten in Seerosen, einem Bambuswald … Dann hab ich keine Probleme mehr, Inspiration zu finden. Und wenn ich keine finde, setze ich mich einfach auf eine Bank und schmauche eine Zigarre.
Ums Geld für das Ganze muss ich mir auch keine Sorgen machen, denn in hundert Jahren kommen so viele Touristen vorbei, dass sich die Investition langfristig lohnt. Man muss halt für die Zukunft planen.Les mer

Maison et jardins de Claude Monet
16. mai 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Ein Zitat von Monet lautet: „Mein Garten ist mein schönstes Meisterwerk.“
Und als wir an einem Dienstagvormittag durch den Eingang des berühmten Garten traten und uns in einem Meer aus Blumen wiederfanden, wurde es für uns Wirklichkeit.
Ehrlich gesagt fehlen uns die Worte, diesem Himmel auf Erden zu beschreiben. Die schönsten Farben, lieblichsten Düfte und sanftesten Klänge finden sich dort zusammen und bilden ein lebendiges Meisterwerk im Sinne Monets. Dieser Ort verdient jegliche Ankerkennung wie auch Wertschätzung und war in unseren Augen einfach perfekt. Und spätestens auf der mit Blauregen bewachsenen Brücke am traumhaften Seerosenteich blieb die Zeit stehen und die Schönheit wurde greifbar nah.Les mer

Monets Gardens - Giverny
12. oktober 2023, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
We left Arras to start our two day drive to our final destination Marseilles. Currently overnighting at Beaune but en route we stopped at Giverny to visit the famous gardens and Japanese ponds created by Claude Monet. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of flowers blooming in the garden - which has a lovely wild unrestricted feel to it - for this time of year. Not many water lilies but the beautiful reflections and the Japanese bridges were just like his paintings.Les mer

Giverny Fondation Monet - Garten & Haus
12. august 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Habs wirklich geschafft, schon 9h30 zur Öffnung dort zu sein, 10h00 war ich drin, also echt schnell! Mit Bussen von Menschen aller Nationen hab ich mir den Garten Monets, den Wassergarten, wo seine Seerosen entstanden sind, und seine Lebstätte angeschaut. Vermutlich muss es im Frühling nochmal viel beeindruckender sein. Das Gartenkonzept ist wirklich toll gemacht. Hab mir viel Zeit gelassen, hie und da mal auf ner Bank gesessen und Blumen und Menschen beobachtet.

Hier nur ein paar von vielen vielen Bildern.Les mer

Giverny and Monet
21. september 2018, Frankrike ⋅ 🌬 63 °F
Glenda was in heaven today as we visited the estate of Claude Monet and Giverny. Our guide told us that Monet may have been bipolar. When he acquired the property at Giverny, the road running by it was unpaved. Coaches and wagons would pass, stirring up dirt. Every morning he would order his gardeners to dust the roses. Finally, he paid to have the road paved. At the time of his death Monet was the wealthiest artist in France. His success as an artist was largely because of a successful promoter who took some of his paintings to New York.Les mer

Monet's Garten
11. juli 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Ja, der Garten vor Monet's Haus war schon prächtig. Vermutlich könnte Heike eine Menge Details dazu erzählen, ich versuchte einfach mal, die grobe Stimmung einzufangen. Es gab keine besonderen Strukturen und Formen, wie man das sonst aus Prunk-Gärten kennt, und es gab keine imposanten Bäume oder exotischen Pflanzen zu bewundern. Es war irgendwie wie ein riesiger, bunter und duftender Blumenstrauß, den Monet da vor seiner Haustür gestaltet hat. Gerade durch seine Einfachheit authentisch und schön. Ein Garten, den man einfach lieb haben muss. (LK)Les mer

Monet's Wassergarten
11. juli 2019, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Monet mochte die japanischen Wassergärten und hat sich selbst einen auf dem Grundstück gegenüber seinem Haus gestaltet. Dieser Garten ist mittlerweile weltberühmt, denn seine Bilder mit den Seerosen und der Brücke kennt ja wirklich jeder. Und hier waren wir nun im Original der Gemälde spazieren, und was soll ich sagen? Wahnsinn! Wie man an meinen Fotos hoffentlich erkennen kann, ist dieser Wassergarten einfach nur phänomenal schön, und man kann hier hunderte wunderschöner Perspektiven finden. Von der Brücke selbst habe ich keine Fotos gemacht. Wie ihr euch denken könnt, gab es nicht eine Sekunde in der nicht irgendwelche Besucher darauf standen und Fotos gemacht haben. Und ich wollte lieber Fotos ohne Stasisten. (LK)Les mer

And off to Normandy
23. august 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
The day started pretty slowly with a leisurely breakfast before we were off to face the challenges of the Metro once more. We walked to Magenta and spoke with many people (my stock apology for being Australian and not speaking French didn’t seem to work so well) before working out that we needed to be at Saint Lazzare – a short train trip, lots off walking through long tunnels, up 3 floors and we were there – it turns out that Saint Lazzare has Metro, RER and the Regional Normandy service running from the same centre but in 3 different parts. We found the right ticket office and after further prolonged queueing we sorted out our tickets to Vernon-Giverney, by which time the train had actually arrived and we were able to board and soon we were on our way
We enjoyed the 50 minute trip through the country side to Vernon and then onto the shuttle bus (at the station – 10Euro return) to the Village of Giverny. This was the home of the impressionist painter Monet for almost 40 years and the gardens were apparently a great source of inspiration for him so we wanted to see them. We purchased a “couple billet” which was a double ticket granting both entry to the Impressionist Museum and the House and Gardens of Monet (16,50). The museum had a special exhibition on showing the works of Maugain a contemporary of Monets (plus there were a few other Impressionist works and one Monet). To be honest I wasn’t really keen on the works – they seemed a tad crude and rough compared to other impressionist pieces.Les mer

Flowers and water lilies
23. august 2017, Frankrike ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
After the Museum we walked a little further down through the village to the Monet’s house and garden – where we were greeted by a terribly long line – we stood in the queue for a while until I realised that people where queueing to buy tickets which we actually had already – I popped up to the front of the line and asked the lady if we had to line up if we had the ticket already? She waved us away saying we could just go around the corner and go straight in as we had the double ticket – bonus!! We walked back down the road, down a little side alley and straight in! We crossed under the road via a tunnel and came to the famous waterlily filled lake which was in so many of the works (Vert et ses nympheas) complete with the green painted Japanese bridge. After a wander around there we crossed back to the glorious flower filled garden for a further stroll before looking through the house which also contained a lot of art. Sadly, we had to head back to the station on the 2.10 shuttle so we couldn’t linger. However, this did get us back to the station some 25 minutes before our train so we enjoyed a tasty French beer in the sun prior to our train.Les mer
