If you're a fan of Japansese wood-block prints, you'll find a feast for the eyes in Monet's house. The dining room walls are hung with prints, from the days when the Impressionists were studying Japanese art.

I have to say that I don't find the Monets in the Musée Marmottan at all second rate! I'd happily hang any of them in my home.

I loved that all the furniture that lined the dining room walls was painted to match the walls -- so that the art work and the FOOD would stand out! We went on our first visit to Paris in 1998. Have been back to Paris twice, since, and I think next time we'll do a repeat trip to Giverny. What a WONDERFUL place!
