This quiet, unassuming place enjoys worldwide renown thanks to Monet\u2019s arrival here in 1883. Monet\u2019s house and its gloriously colorful gardens \u2013 painstakingly designed by the man himself, and the site of his iconic lily ponds \u2013 were a longstanding source of artistic inspiration for the painter. Monet lived here with his second wife, Alice Hosched\u00e9 and their children for over 40 years, and is buried in the village churchyard. Today, visitors flock here to experience the wonderfully bright interior of Monet\u2019s home, and to see the famous Japanese bridges.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151.jpg\" alt=\"Monet Normandy\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monets-garden-at-Giverny-rusm-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotospring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\"> Monet&#8217;s garden \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/spring-garden-giverny-france-gm506765774-84364151\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iStock\/rusm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>An hour\u2019s drive north of Giverny is the ancient city of Rouen. The capital of Normandy, Rouen is steeped in history, having been the site of the burning of Joan of Arc in 1431, and is also home to a spectacular gothic cathedral. This staggering monument captivated Monet so intensely that he set up a studio directly opposite it in the 1890s, so that he could paint it in the changing light and weather. The result was an impressive 30 paintings of this single Rouen landmark.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rouen-Cathedral-Borisb17-iStock-www.istockphoto.comgbphotorouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\"> Rouen Cathedral \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/rouen-cathedral-france-gm598162426-102546355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iStock\/Borisb17<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From here, travel onwards to Honfleur, an Impressionist\u2019s dream landscape. This pretty fishing town played an important role in Monet\u2019s artistic career, as it was the place where a young Monet met the man who, he later claimed, persuaded him to pick up a paintbrush. Aged 18, Monet met French painter, Eug\u00e8ne Boudin, known as one of the first French landscape painters to paint outside. At that point, the man who was to become the most famous Impressionist painter of all time was working as a caricaturist, but Monet later suggested that it was Boudin who turned his mind to landscape painting.

This is where Monet grew up, and where he painted the sunrise coming up over the port, titling it Impression, Soleil Levant, and thus giving the subsequent movement its name. Whether you\u2019re traveling by the Normandy coast or journeying through the verdant dairy lands further inland, you\u2019ll be sure to notice the changes in light and riot of color that typifies the region, and which appears in many of Monet\u2019s paintings. While the local places Monet knew have gone through significant changes since the 19th century, and the majority of the artist\u2019s paintings of the region are now on shown in the most prestigious museums around the world, the artistic spirit of Normandy can still be experienced today.<\/p>\n<p>Discover more about Normandy\u2019s rich cultural heritage on Insight Vacations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/us\/trips\/normandy-brittany-and-the-loire-valley-summer-2018\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley<\/a> journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dazzling coastline hugged by dramatic white cliffs, charming villages and a smattering of spectacular historic buildings, Normandy\u2019s artistic appeal is immediately apparent.
