Holiday in France part 2 ( final part )

Hello everyone!

I found some time to upload a new blogpost finally.
Today I'm talking about Claude Monet's house and garden in Giverny.

I used to study art, and I'm always fascinated by cultural and artistic holidays!!
I knew that Monet's house was in Giverny, but I didn't realize that it was super close to the place I was staying so that was really cool.

It's amazing to me that I was able to walk through the home and garden of such an amazing painter.

Sorry if these kind of cultural things are not for you, but trust me it is absolutely stunning!
I saw a lot of tulips in the garden which made me happy haha.

Before I show you the house and garden, I actually want to show you a small church in Giverny.

The cemetery also serves as a place to remember the people that fought for us during WOII.

Since showing a cemetery might be a bit dark, I just wanted to upload the outside and inside of the church.

P.s. sorry for the picture heavy post!! There's just so much that I want to show you!!!

Outside of the small church

 

I love stained glass windows! They add this sense of calmness to buildings which is really nice.

 If you have the time to visit Giverny and are interested in this nice little village, please stop by this church as well! It might not be as impressive as the Sacre Couer, but it's still really beautiful.

Now onto Monet's house and garden!

So here's the front view of the house! As you can see, there's already a lot of pretty flowers in front of the house, and the house is pink which makes it extra amazing.

I wish I had a nice little corner like this in my own house!
The curtains might seem tacky to you, but I would love to have this kind of decoration in my own house hahaha

Just look at this amazing view Monet had on his garden!
You can really tell that a lot of his inspiration came from flowers when you look at his paintings.

I was also really amazed by his work space.

Probably one of my favorite rooms in his house: the kitchen.
I absolutely loved the old rustic feel it had and I wouldn't mind having a kitchen like this myself.

In this picture you can see a reconstruction of his bed. Of course surrounded by paintings and pictures.

So onto the garden.
I won't show you too many pictures since it's pretty much flowers everywhere ( and I took WAY too many pictures of all the flowers....)
What was very special to me though, was being able to see the Japanese bridge in one of his paintings in real life.
Maybe you already know what I'm talking about, but I will show it to you later on!

Amazing arch that leads you straight to the front door of Monet's house.

Look at the variety in all these flowers! I didn't know where to look to be honest.

So here is the famous bridge you can find in Monet's painting!
If you google ' The Japanese footbridge ' you'll definitely find it.

Lastly a picture of the great man himself.

If visiting these kind of things are not really what you're into, Giverny doesn't only have Monet's house, it is also an amazing town in a quiet area where you can go for a short stroll or even enjoy hiking.

 I hope you enjoyed this post! I want to try to upload more reviews and such in the near future, but I need my wallet to allow that first....

Thank you so much for reading and I'll see you next time c:
