Six adventurers saw this incredible garden together. And what a beautiful place it is. Since we were a bit early relative to our ticket times, we went up the hill to see the cemetary first. Claude lived in this place from 1883 until he died in 1926.

The entire village seems to be devoted to art and tourism. The narrow streets are lined with shops selling sweets and or art lessons.



And the flowers – wow! So many colors and shapes, together in different color combinations that delight. We wandered around the house and garden.




Inside the house are collections of art that Monet acquired in his lifetime as well as art he created.




Of course we visited the famous lily pond, with the bridges that are in many paintings.




At the end of this glorious day we were back at Aurélie’s to play Spoons, a card game we taught both daughters when they visited us in Colorado.
