| Claude Monet came to reside in the of Village of Giverny in the late 1800's after noticing the quaint little Village during a train trip. After seeing it he decided he was going to move there. He rented a home which he later purchased and created the magnificent gardens that he would later paint. Some of his most famous paintings were of his garden in Giverny. |
