Where Did Claude Monet Live

Claude Monet's residence in Giverny, approxemately 60 km west of Paris. Some of his paintings may be admired at Museé Marmottan in Paris, but some of his best are found here in the house which was his residence, but which is now a museum.
Some people claim that the garden was Claude Monet's best creation, and it is really a bit of a masterpiece. Much of his inspiration for his paintings came from here.

The garden at Claude Monet’s residence at Giverny, a village outside of Paris, contains two planting themes: a flower garden close to the house, and a water garden reached via an underground tunnel connecting the separated properties of the deceased artist and amateur gardener. On the cutting edge in the impressionist art world, Monet (1840-1926) created general planting schemes that served him in his study of the effect of light and atmospheric conditions on the natural world. These gardens have been lovingly maintained, and over time they have developed into works of art worthy of a visit seven months of the year.
Neither the flower garden nor the water garden contains strong elements of design. The former mainly consists of a color palette of garden plants in rectangular beds. Its beauty is in the combination of floral harmonies. Author Vivian Russell notes that Monet did not regularly paint the views of his flower garden, leaving it as a living canvas. However, the water garden, created in the style of a Japanese stroll garden, repeatedly served as the scene for his exquisite canvas studies of water lilies
