Giverny is a village and commune of the Eure département, in France. It is best known as the location of Claude Monet's gardens and home. Giverny sits on the "right Bank" of the River Seine. The village lies 80km (50 miles) from Paris, west and slightly north, on the border between the province of Normandy and the Île-de-France.
A settlement has existed in Giverny since neolithic times and a monument uncovered attests to this fact. Archeological finds have included tombs dating from Gallo-Roman times and to the earlier 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The town was known in ancient deeds as "Warnacum". The cultivation of grapes has been an occupation of the inhabitants of Giverny since Merovingian times. The village church dates from the Middle Ages and is built partially in the Romanesque style, though additions have since been made. It is dedicated to Saint Radegonde. The village has remained a small rural setting with a modest population (numbering around 300 in 1883 when Monet discovered it) and has since seen a boom in tourism since the restoration of Monet's house and gardens.

Then we got on the train to Vernon. The train station makes a really
funny little song when they’re going to make an announcement (Dun, dun,
DA dun!). The train was very nice. We ate our sandwiches. We chatted.
We got to sit on the top floor of the train and look out the window.
The trains are so smooth... it’s very relaxing. There was a baby crying
in a really funny way on the train.
In a round about way, because of the baby, we had a bit of an incident
getting off the train. O...

Well, now I can say I've been to Giverny. That was a thrill for me because as a child Monet was probably my favorite artist. I don't know who I would say now. Maybe he still is. Anyway, it was great to see the landscape that inspired his paintings that I always found so beautiful. Actually, when I lived in Washington DC and I ran out of money at the end of my stay there, I would go to the National Gallery (which had free entry then, I don't know if it still does)...
