Claude Monet's house, Giverny, Normandy, France. Monet fell in love with the village of Giverny when he saw it from the window of a train he was travelling on. He moved to the village in 1883, living there until his death in 1926. Some of his most famous works, including his water lily paintings, were painted in the garden of his house, which he bought in 1890.
