The meticulously landscaped garden was the inspiration for many works by the founder of French Impressionist paintings and Master Claude Monet. The house and gardens offered Monet many suitable motifs for his works and some of his most famous paintings including Water Lilies and the Japanese bridge and The rose arches amongst others. Today, it is a popular destination for artists and fans of impressionism and Monet.
