Monet’s Garden is on my list at #4. Not only is Claude Monet’s house beautiful, but the property hosts a lavish garden that spreads for as far as the eye can see. This picture was taken from a small bridge built to get from one side of the pond to the other. I remember as I stood there, I was almost in disbelief of the sheer magnitude of what I was witnessing first hand. Claude Monet, THE Claude Monet stood in this very spot (or close to it) and painted his famous Waterlillies series. I looked at what he used as his subject. I stood where he once stood. Amazing. What was even more riveting was seeing his floor to ceiling paintings of the garden later on at the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris.
