    Maison de Claude Monet

    26. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    The house is located in Giverny and was rented by Claude Monet in May 1883. In November 1890 he was able to buy the house and the land. He lived and painted there for 43 years and was inspired by his gardens

    He believed that it was important to surround himself with nature and paint outdoors. He created many paintings of his house and gardens, especially of water lilies in the pond, the Japanese bridge, and a weeping willow tree.

    You can visit some parts of the house.
    The ground floor: the blue salon (the reading room), the "épicerie" (the larder), the living room/studio, the dining room and the blue-tiled kitchen.

    The first floor: the family rooms, including Monet's bedroom, which was renovated in March 2013 as well as Alice Hoschedé's bedroom and their private apartments. Also visible is the room of Blanche Hoschedé, which was recreated in 2013 based on archives and existing elements present in the house.

    The studio next to the home, where Monet painted his large Water Lilies paintings and murals, including those exhibited in Paris' Musée de l'Orangerie. This studio is now the Foundation's gift shop.    Les mer

    Les jardins de Claude Monet à Giverny

    26. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    That's a garden, I tell you, magnificent! I'll take it - but the people have to go and someone else has to pay the gardeners 🤪.

    "Les jardins et la maison de Claude Monet" is the name given to the former residence of the impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840–1926), which is managed by the Fondation Claude Monet in the French village of Giverny in the Eure department (Normandy).

    After the artist rented the house, he first created an ornamental garden behind it, called the "clos normand", which he covered with a profusion of flowers. In November 1890, he was able to buy the house and the property. In 1893, Monet expanded the garden, which was now being tended by six gardeners, to include a small piece of land on the Epte. In the years that followed, the so-called jardin d'eau, or water garden, was created there, with a water lily pond spanned by a bridge based on the Japanese model, which Monet often used as a motif.

    Monet loved gardening, read specialist literature, and visited garden exhibitions. The garden not only served as a place of relaxation, but also inspired him for his paintings.    Les mer

    Chateau Gaillard

    26. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Château Gaillard is a medieval castle ruin overlooking the River Seine above the commune of Les Andelys.

    Construction began in 1196 under the auspices of Richard the Lionheart, who was simultaneously King of England and feudal Duke of Normandy. The castle was expensive to build, but the majority of the work was done in an unusually short period of time.

    It took just two years and, at the same time, the town of Petit Andely was constructed. Château Gaillard has a complex and advanced design, and uses early principles of concentric fortification; it was also one of the earliest European castles to use machicolations.    Les mer

    Église Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc

    26. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Église Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc is a Catholic church which can be found in the city centre of Rouen.

    It reminds me of the stave churches in Norway. The building has something of a Viking ship and the corners remind me of dragons.

    It was completed in 1979 in the centre of the ancient market square, known as the Place du Vieux-Marché, the place where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for heresy in 1431. A small garden, Le Bouchet, which is outside and to the north of the church marks the exact spot.

    The modern church Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc and the adjacent market halls were designed by the architect Louis Arretche, who was commissioned in 1969. The sweeping curves of the structure are meant to evoke both the flames that consumed Joan of Arc and an overturned longship. Many early Christian churches were designed in the shape of an overturned boat. The market halls simultaneously resemble smaller overturned boats and fish with gaping mouths, which are also rich Christian symbols. The tiled roof echoes this theme and forms a covered walkway over the square.

    Definitely a stunning building ❤️!    Les mer

    Rouen

    26. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Today I strolled a bit around in Rouen and was quite impressed. Youcan find some quite old buildings in the old town.

    Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is about 700 000 and people from Rouen are known as Rouennais.

    Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. From the 13th century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was on its soil that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive on 30 May 1431.

    Severely damaged by the wave of bombing in 1944, it nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and its large seaport, which today is the fifth largest in France.

    Don't pass by, have a look!    Les mer

    Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen

    26. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    The Cathédrale primatiale Notre-Dame de l'Assomption de Rouen is a Catholic church in Rouen. It is famous for its three towers, each in a different style.

    When you walk straight from to the Église Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc through the old town, you can't miss it.

    The cathedral, built and rebuilt over a period of more than eight hundred years, has features from Early Gothic to late Flamboyant and Renaissance architecture. It also has a place in art history as the subject of a series of impressionist paintings by Claude Monet, and in architecture history as from 1876 to 1880, it was the tallest building in the world.

    I look at cathedrals often, most of the time for me it's only about the architecture. This time it was different, there was some kind of holy spirit 👻 around...    Les mer

    Étretat

    27. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Étretat is a commune in the the Normandy region of Northwestern France. It is a tourist and farming town situated about 32 km northeast of Le Havre.

    Étretat is best known for its chalk cliffs, including three natural arches and a pointed formation called L'Aiguille or the Needle, which rises 70 metres above the sea. The Etretat Chalk Complex, as it is known, consists of a complex stratigraphy of Turonian and Coniacian chalks. Some of the cliffs are as high as 90 metres.

    These cliffs and the associated resort beach attracted artists including Eugène Boudin, Charles Daubigny, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet. They were featured prominently in the 1909 Arsène Lupin novel The Hollow Needle by Maurice Leblanc. They also feature in the 2014 film Lucy, directed by Luc Besson.

    Two of the three famous arches are visible from the town, the Porte d'Aval, and the Porte d'Amont. The Manneporte is the third and the biggest one, and cannot be seen from the town.

    Fortunately we arrived there after the rain...    Les mer

    Honfleur

    27. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Honfleur is a commune in the Calvados department 😋. It is located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine across from Le Havre and very close to the exit of the Pont de Normandie.

    It is especially known for its old port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted frequently by artists. Like all the towns here there have been many notable artists, including, Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind. They all meet at La Ferme Saint Siméon, which is now a 5-star hotel, and create the "Saint Siméon gathering" contributing to the appearance of the Impressionist movement.

    The Sainte-Catherine church, which has a bell tower separate from the principal building, is the largest wooden church in France.

    It's a nice but very touristic place and I suggest you don't drink ANY coffee there (cappuccino 6.-).    Les mer

    Deauville & Trouville-sur-Mer

    27. mai 2024, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    The attractions of Deauville include its harbour, race course, marinas, conference centre, villas, Grand Casino, and sumptuous hotels. The first Deauville Asian Film Festival took place in 1999.

    Deauville is one of the most prestigious seaside resorts in all of France. As the closest seaside resort to Paris, the city and its region of the Côte Fleurie (Flowery Coast) has long been home to French high society's seaside houses and is often referred to as the Parisian riviera.

    Deauville & Trouville-sur-Mer share a train station, why?

    Trouville-sur-Mer borders Deauville across the River Touques. This fishing-village on the English Channel became a popular tourist attraction (beach-resort and holiday-destination) in Normandy from the 19th century. Its long sandy beach earned then the nickname of "queen of the beaches" ("Reine des plages") or "most beautiful beach in the world".

    So you can tell in which city you are only because you see the city sign in the middle. Well and we went from one city to the other by boat 🛥️🤣.    Les mer
