Located on the right bank of the Seine, the town is world-famous for the paintings of Claude Monet, who lived here from 1883 until his death in 1926. Like Monet in his day, visitors can't help but pause for a long moment in front of the water garden, with its Japanese bridge and water lilies... backdrops that inspired two of his best-known paintings.
