Did you know?
Claude Monet lived in Vétheuil from 1878 to 1881, a period marked by personal hardship and financial struggle, yet it was also a time of intense artistic productivity. During these years, he painted over 150 canvases, often depicting the village, the Seine, and the surrounding countryside, experimenting with light and atmospheric conditions that would become hallmarks of his Impressionist style.
