Fodor's Review:

After touring the painterly grounds of Monet's house, you may wish to see some real paintings at the airy Musée des Impressionnismes, farther along the road. Endowed by the late Chicago art patrons Daniel and Judith Terra, it displays works by American Impressionists who were influenced by Claude Monet. After the master made Giverny his home, other artists, including Willard Metcalf, Louis Ritter, Theodore Wendel, and John Leslie Breck, "discovered" Giverny, too (truth be known, Monet soon tired of being a cult figure). On-site are a restaurant and salon de thé (tearoom), as well as a garden "quoting" some of Monet's plant compositions. Head down the road to visit Giverny's landmark Hôtel Baudy, now a restaurant and once the stomping grounds and watering hole of many of these 19th-century artists.

Cost: EUR 5.50
Open: May-Oct., Tues.-Sun. 10-6
