In Monet's day, students flocked to Giverny to get a glimpse of the master painter... or at least of the town that fascinated and inspired him. The Baudy Hotel became a place for room and board... and hanging out... for artist wanna bees and their friends.Many guests were Americans. The Baudy Hotel made the first Tennis Court in France to show off this sport.
We enjoyed our first evening meal in Giverny at this restaurant.
Monet found the attention of the Americans and other students in his home town to be annoying much like stars today find the fans to be invasive.
The hotel developed gardens leading up the hills and studios for painting and sketching. At the top of the garden you can see the town in the valley.
