History of Giverny

Giverny is a picturesque commune situated in the Eure department in the Normandy region of France. This village harbors numerous secrets and bucolic spots, making it an irresistible attraction for tourists each year.

Historical Background

Giverny's origins can be traced back to around 1025, under its Latin name 'Givernicum', derived from the Gaulish domain "Gabriniacu". The earliest historical records of this commune date back to the Merovingian era between 484 and 754, when Charles II 'The Bald' gifted Giverny to the monks of Saint-Dennis-le-Ferment Abbey. The Middle Ages saw the establishment of various monasteries and a succession of lords. The territory was also plagued by leprosy, leading to the establishment of a leprosarium to isolate the affected. Monsieur Le Loriet, the first mayor of Giverny, owned the village lands in 1791.

Advent of the Railway and the Arrival of Monet

The entry of Giverny into historical prominence occurred with the advent of the railway in the early 19th century. A century later, Claude Monet brought about renovations and transformed the orchard into a flowering garden. His masterpiece 'Water Lilies' was inspired by the pondside in this garden.

Giverny: The Village of Painters

During the Impressionist revolution, Giverny attracted numerous American painters, including Monet, who contributed significantly to the village's improvement and beautification. Their presence earned Giverny the title 'the village of painters'. This period marked Giverny as an epicenter of Impressionism, with Monet showcasing its beauty in his paintings, housed in 'Claude Monet's House'. Later, recognizing Giverny's impressionist historical significance, the Terra Foundation for American Art renamed the former American Art Museum as the 'Musée des Impressionnismes Giverny'.

Conclusion

In essence, the relationship between Giverny and painting has been an unending idyll, persisting even today. Painting has not only given this quaint Norman village a soul but also added depth to the countless discoveries awaiting those keen to explore its 75 km distance from Paris.
