Description
The Foundation of Claude Monet is a nonprofit organization that runs and preserves the house and gardens of Claude Monet in Giverny, France, where Monet lived and painted for 43 years. Monet was inspired by his gardens, and spent years transforming them, planting thousands of flowers. 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.
With a total of 530,000 visitors in 2010, it is the second most visited tourist site in Normandy after the Mont Saint-Michel. The house and gardens are recognized as a designated historic site in France. Monet's paintings of the gardens, especially the pond with water lilies, are exhibited in dozens of major collections.
