Monet's House
About
Monet's House (Fondation Claude Monet) [3], 84 rue Claude Monet, tel 02 32 51 28 21, open April-October Mo-Su 9:30 am - 6 pm, admission €9.00, €5.00 students, €4.00 disabled, under-7s free, wheelchair access available - e-tickets can now be purchased online to avoid queuing - the house is quietly eccentric and highly interesting in an Orient-influenced style, and includes Monet's collection of Japanese prints. There are no original Monet paintings on the site - the real drawcard, is the gardens around the house - the water garden with the Japanese bridge, weeping willows and waterlilies is now somewhat iconic. Monet's house has the obligatory gift-store attached, designed to help you part with your money in exchange for all manner of things Impressionist.
