The Foundation allows visitors to tour Monet’s home as well as the gardens near the house and on the other side of the road next to the river. Monet diverted water from the river to make flowing ponds. Because of the tremendous rains, the tunnel connecting the gardens under the road was flooded and home and gardens were closed. They reopened the day we visited with great crowds. It was hard to take landscape shots without lots of people in them.
