Exploring Giverny
Nestled in the heart of the Vexin region, known for the undulating topography of its hilly countryside, the village of Giverny was a picturesque and vibrant village which was particularly popular with artists in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Monet wasn’t the only artist to fall in love with Giverny. Other painters, including Americans such as Mary Fairchild, also took up residence here.
