Visit the property of Monet (where the painter lived from 1883 to 1926), restored thanks to the generosity of American donors - the house and gardens of the impressionist painter represent forty years of his life. Here, he painted his immense Water Lilies series, as well as the Hay-Stacks and Poplars series, the Wisterias, Japanese Bridges... Today, his house has been transformed into a museum, and the gardens have been replanted as Monet wanted them to be. More about Monet House at Giverny

Le Moulin de Fourges Restaurant

Be ready to fall in love with this place ! How could one resist the bucolic charm of this two-hundred-year old moulin (mill), whose mossy wheel turns peacefully, carried by the stream of the river Epte ? It looks like a dream of a mill, just as everybody invented it for himself one day in a corner of his imagination. The story of its construction may deliver the secret for this magic. It is told that the mill of Fourges was erected by the builders of the Hameau de la Reine (the Queen's Hamlet) near the Palace of Versailles, this replica of a village where Marie-Antoinette fancied herself a farmer, far from the Court constraints. It is well known by anglers, painters as well as gourmets coming from Paris or much further, like Hillary Clinton who dined here.
