Upon his death in 1926, painter Claude Monet left his property with his son who, 40 years later, handed it over to the Academy of Fine Arts. Concealed behind the house's delicate pink exterior are Japanese prints hung on the walls by Monet himself. The rooms too have remained as they were during his lifetime. Outside, the gardens are a pleasure to visit and are divided into two parts linked by an underground passageway. The first, the Clos Normand, is renowned for the riot of color provided by its flower beds, its fruit trees, its leafy bowers and climbing roses. Wander over to the other part of the garden known as the Jardin d’eau, you'll find that the artist's famous Water Lilies immediately springs to ones mind. This is how his wonderful paintings came to life.
