The Mayor of Giverny |
The name Giverny is indivisible from that of Claude Monet Thanks to the master of impressionism, not only have we been left an unequalled collection of works, but also our village of 500 inhabitants has been transformed into a capital of art. This makes us proud and sad at the same time. Proud because our village has offered Monet, Cézanne, Cassat, Mc Monnies, Buthler, Robinson and so many others its light and landscapes, which are still a source of inspiration for artists and sculptors. But sad because we would like to offer visitors a welcome which meets their high expectations, but very often the streets in our village are overcrowded. By taking the virtual tour through Giverny and Vernon presented by this Web site, you will discover or revisit the streets and alleys that make Giverny a place so encouraging to creation. Yesterday on the canvas of the impressionists, today on the canvas of the Web, Giverny will remain a village of art and culture. |
