The village
Giverny, a village of artists
Between the Seine and the Epte, a Normandy village that became a name in the history of art.
The setting
A place, a light
The village occupies the north slope of a broad valley, open onto meadows and poplars. That configuration — water, mist, reflections — held painters for decades.
The colony
From 1886, and above all from 1887, Giverny took in a seasonal artistic population, mostly American, who lodged, worked and exhibited on the spot. The First World War largely brought the period to an end.
Today
Giverny still holds the places of that history: Claude Monet’s house and gardens, the museum of Impressionisms, the church of Sainte-Radegonde and the former Hôtel Baudy.
