Monet's house and gardens
Monet's pink house with green shutters looks over the Clos Normand, a flower garden that changes with the seasons. Across the road, an underpass leads to the water garden with the Japanese bridge and the water lilies of his famous paintings. The house and gardens are open from about April to early November; spring and early summer are especially beautiful.
The nearby Museum of Impressionisms holds changing exhibitions.
