You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there

Monet Slept Here

by painterdave - last update: Jan 28, 2007

Visit the Home of Monet

Get there early, but a ticket to get in and visit the home of Claude Monet. This home has been refurbished to look as if Money just moved out. In particular see the stunning rooms in blue and yellow.
Then walk the gardens and see the model of the famous painted bridge.
If you are planning this experience from Paris, except this to take the whole day. The village has some great cheese shops--great for picnics. This will be a pleasant day for you.
Take this shot in the morning.

Get yourself photographed on the bridge

Make sure to step into the light.....

When you take the tour you will see how Monet brightened his home with color.
Do some research on Monet and find out about his eyesight.
