Beautiful! Interesting note from the Monet exhibition in San Francisco: the ponds are man-(Monet-) made. He designed and oversaw the construction.

Very Beautiful !!!


Thank you PH CIB glad you enjoyed the pictures. We have been there at least 4 times and the first time I believe was in 1982. That day there were only about 8 people that visited the place, today it is a cast of hundreds each day!

Thanks for the look and the comments bamfordr. Monet lavished his attention on his home and garden in Giverny and it shows.

Thanks you CathyAnn, I can assure you that the place is terrific whatever time of year. It is only open for 7 months but during that time it really glows. The gardens are spectacular. They are across the street between the house and the ponds. I am going to post some shots of what is left there at the end of October when they close the place down.

No trip to France and the Paris region is complete without a trip to Monet's Home at Giverny and in particular the Lily Pond which was the inspiration for his magnificent Nympheas paintings now housed in the Musee De L' Orangerie in Paris. Although Fall is not the ideal time to visit, in fact the attraction closes for 5 months at the end of October, the fall colors are indeed spectacular. Here are some views of the Lily Pond on a chilly, damp day just a couple of days before the scheduled closing.
