MONET's MASTERPIECE! 🌟The Monumental WATER LILIES 🪷 in

[@sandrawahlgren7080]

I have been lucky enough to visit Monet's gardens in Giverny, so it was a delight to see Monet's paintings. While I have been to the Louvre, I have never been to Musee de L'Orangerie. Thank you for taking us there Vivienne!

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

You are lucky!🍀

[@ChateauLove]

It was such a pleasure. 🥰💖💖

[@rayn8740]

Vivienne, that was amazing. I didn't know those enormous murals existed. I couldn't possibly choose from the offerings, they're all incredible artists. What a fabulous collection. Thanks, as always, for letting us tag along to such wonderful places. ❤ from TX!

[@ChateauLove]

💖💖💖

[@michaelw.8614]

What a delightful museum day. Monet and Renoir are my favorites.

[@maryannaarnold3817]

Thank you Vivienne for showing us Claude Monet's 4 seasons of waterlilies up close!!!

[@conconcost9967]

Renoir hands down captured beautiful faces. Thanks Vivienne! I will never get over there so what a treat to see these! Thank you again. Connie/Memphis/Mississippi

[@maryannaarnold3817]

Claude Monet is by far my favorite artist!!! I've had the pleasure to visit the Musee de L'Orangerie and Monet's paintings are so magnificent and enormous in size in the oval room.🎨🖼🎨

[@judithclark2823]

Thank you so much Vivienne. Always a pleasure visiting Paris with you.🥰

[@anisekhan5702]

I just wish your blog was longer, couldn’t get enough of it. Thank you I am an ardent art lover.

[@aryafaaz9345]

Agree 🎉 ❤❤❤ all your videos Vivienne You are the BEST 👍👱🏻‍♀️🏆👏

[@ChateauLove]

You are too kind! 🥰🏰💖

[@tristanharp]

❤Monet. I had no idea the paintings were sooooo large. Thanks for the visit🥂

[@ChateauLove]

Yes, they are enormous! It was a beautiful day with excellent company. 🥰🏰💖

[@ChateauLove]

Yes, they are enormous! It was a beautiful day with excellent company. 🥰🏰💖

[@susanneking2524]

I have a fondness for Cezanne, we hiked up to where he had a refuge and painted Sainte-Victoire. There is a little house where he lived that has been turned into a museum in Aix-en-Provence and it's a fun place to visit.

[@Angela-ki6mb]

The colors make you feel so good. It’s amazing! What a treasure

[@joyabell4420]

Lovely to see all the beautiful paintings. Monet wins hands down for me, I love his use of colour. The gardens at Giverny where he lived are so lovely. I realised while there that he was very influenced and had his own collection of Japanese wood block prints. His water lilies and bridge with wisteria also comes from the same influences. But the paintings up close reveal all the lovely colours of the water and the flowers. Thanks for taking us along.

[@deborrastrom8559]

Monet > 💯 % 1st > his painting style just relaxes me. 😉 ❤🎉Love this one & I always love Paris > 🌧 🌦 or shine ✨️ 🌞.

[@beautyallaroundme724]

Very enjoyable, and well done. Thanks for sharing. Happy Easter 💮🐇

[@paulacorreal1675]

I like them all but Renoir is my all time favorite…great video. Thanks for sharing these wonderful works of art.

[@peterwhite9261]

Renoir, by far, is my favorite out of all. ❤

[@ChateauLove]

I love his work, too, Peter! 🥰🏰💖

[@colleenlongardner2692]

Visited the Rijksmuseum and will never forget Rembrandt's Night Watch. Monet and Renoir are fantastic but Van Gogh is my favorite, Thanks so very much sharing this beauty with us.

[@ChateauLove]

I love Van Gogh, too! 🏰💖

[@lululand1653]

What a hidden gem Musee de L'Orangerie, looks like I need another trip to Paris to soak in Monet's "monumental" water lily's and nymphs. You filmed all the paintings so well Vivienne it also captured the atmosphere perfectly.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

I’ve been to the Louve but not the L’Orangerie. What incredible art works. Monet and Renoir are my favorites. Thanks for taking us along 😍😘

[@Velvetnoirestar]

Monet and Renoir ❤️❤️🇦🇺

[@mamanonagan]

I was just in Paris three weeks ago, joining my husband on a business trip, and because of your video (this video) I made certain to go to Musee de l’Orangerie to see Monet’s Waterlily paintings. Thank you for the timing of this video, Vivienne! I was in awe, sitting and reflecting while taking in the beautiful curved paintings. Just magnificent! ❤

[@ChateauLove]

Just seeing this now and so happy that you had a wonderful trip to Paris, especially being able to see the Water Lilies! xxx 🏰💖

[@marianneheimann9598]

Many thanks for the lovely trip to the museum. I especially enjoyed seeing the "round" painting by Monet 😍 But I also love going around Paris - when I tell you that I was there in October 1966, you can understand, it's a wonderful reunion!! I have seen Monet's museum and garden, it was in Giverny - a GREAT experience - probably in 2010 ❣️ - in addition, I have the most wonderful children's book about his paintings! Thank you thank you !!

[@ChateauLove]

So glad you enjoyed it, Marianne! 🏰💖

[@Monitschka]

So inspiring, thank you! My favorite: Monet. 😘

[@lavonnemountain6133]

You are so kind to take us back the the l'Orangerie, such a stunning Musee. I spent many hours walking close to Monet Nypheas, it was as though I was in the water with them. I always was told Manet was the father of Impressionism! I guess he was in his time. He encouraged the painters to reach out from the old norms, thus Impressionism. Now Monet is! Oh I so hope you keep going to all the Museums. Paris is the capitol of great Art. What do they do at the Jeu De Palm now? I saw Olympia there. What a thrill. Great to have a rainy day in Paris.

[@denisemusicnut]

I thought I had visited every museum in Paris, but somehow I missed Musée de l'Orangerie! Claude Monet is my favorite painter. His landscapes take me to another world! I was once stranded in the middle of Place de la Concorde. We went on foot to get a close look at the Luxor Obelisk, and traffic picked up to the point that we couldn’t get back across the traffic circle! We finally got a break in traffic, and were able to get across, but it took a long time! I wish we had known that we were near Musée de l'Orangerie! We were able to visit Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny. That was the highlight of my trip to France! I could have spent the entire day at the lily pond, despite the rain! I enjoyed being in the French countryside. I’m a farm girl, and I found Paris a bit overwhelming. Fields and farm animals are more to my liking! I would like to return to France and visit the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where my cousin is buried. He was killed in action on D-day. I was with a large group of people on my previous visit, and had to follow a set itinerary. Someday!

[@ruarifinn]

The American Cemetery is one of the most beautiful, peaceful, reverential place I have been. I imagine if you have someone there it would be even more so. My dad survived WWII. A visit there made me appreciate even more those who sacrificed for freedom. I hope you will make that visit one day. When you do, take in the Musee de L’Orangerie. It is much smaller and less overwhelming than the Louvre. I love Monet, as apparently many people do. The oval room where the water Lillie’s are displayed was very busy when I visited. I would love to return when it is less busy.

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you come back to France soon! 🏰💖

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you can make it back to France one day soon! 🥰🏰💖

[@gayejani350]

WOW! This was wonderful! Thank you for taking us along. I love how you take us places and teach us something new!

[@marilynleslie472]

Monet is my favorite artist. We visited L’Orangerie in 2010. It is the most peaceful museum. No need to rush from room to room, just sit and enjoy!

[@beiderbecke1927]

I have no one favorite artist, all those paintings speak to me in different ways, the one common theme being a passion for painting, and the need to share a very personal vision of what it means to be alive. As someone who painted for nearly 50 years, and lost their muse, I'm trying to lure her back for one last painting. Thanks for reminding me of the joys of pigment on canvas.

[@ChateauLove]

Yes, find your muse. She’s there…You just have to feel, not think… Your paints are waiting and so is your muse. 🏰💖

[@williampierce2356]

Yes, I do have to say and agree with others. Would hope that your vlogs would be longer but it's understandable. But we so enjoy you and your family and your chateau and I have to say every time I listen to the beginning of your program with your music, it takes me away. I become entirely different in a very wonderful way. It is just so soothing. It makes you move and thanks to your sister for singing the song for you for chateau Love!❤

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, William. You are too kind. I will share your lovely words with Ashley. 🥰🏰💖

[@AndreaDavidson-p9q]

Vivienne, you are one dear soul. Respecting your remarkable achievements in Art, in practice, and historically, I feel honoured to have viewed the Great Impressionists through your curated video. Well Done, and Thank You 🎨

[@ChateauLove]

What a lovely comment. Thank you! 🥰🏰💖

[@sheilasaxton3836]

Last August I was able to visit Museede l’Orangerie which I enjoyed with my Daughter and Granddaughter on their first visit to Paris. I personally love Im I I

[@TheCrowsNest1950]

Hi Vivienne, A visit to the Musée de L'Orangerie to see "Les Nympheas" or "Water Lilies" by Claude Monet is at the top f my list to see when I get to Paris. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Mark & Scott

[@jaysmith8199]

Adore Monet saw the water lillies in London in the 90s - amazing. Would love to see them in that gallery he designed.

[@growinginlife]

I have been privileged to see this museum and the masterpieces inside. I hope to return one day! Thank you, it was a beautiful vlog.

[@onthebay66]

What a wonderful armchair tour of the Claude Monet & Gallery. The Water Lilies make one feel like you were there when he was painting .Thank you, it is so delightful when you highlight the details. Love your vlogs ! from Ontario, Canada

[@TreehuggerKay]

What treasures!! And to think this was your first visit in...20 years did you say? It's just like Manhatten near me-you could live a lifetime somewhere rich with culture and never see it all! My mom and I planning a trip to Paris next year...would you be willing to share your "must sees"? Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us! Looking forward to seeing the final result of that design project you're working on!! Merci!!

[@charmainejfritz]

I loved this video. I have been to so many exhibits with Monet and Matisse and enjoy their artwork so much. I also remember going to the Picasso Museum in Paris and it was interesting. I also like Renoir too.

[@rosemaryhoffart8771]

BRAVO! Thank you!

[@marilynmiller8182]

Thank you for taking us along to the Musee de l'Orangerie. Just what my heart needed today. I have visited this beautiful musee in the past; so memories surround my heart as I watch your video.

[@candydonnelly7543]

Oh what a delicious video on Easter Saturday, thank you so much. My favorite Impressionists are all of them especially Monet and Matisse. I vividly recall a class trip to the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. You take an elevator to a he top floor and Voila the doors open and you are greeted with Monet’s Waterlilies, I first saw them and It felt like my heart stopped beating. To translate the colors from his eyes to his palette was certainly magical. Let us all open our eyes and appreciate Nature through color. Have a wonderful Easter with your Chateau Family. Thank you again for providing me a Happy Heart today ❤️🇫🇷❤️

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you! It was a great pleasure. 🥰🏰💖

[@figencebe9287]

Happy Easter, Vivienne and thank you so much for this beautiful video … It was an emotional experience … I realized I missed all those paintings , I need to go back to the Orangerie … I LOVE Monet, of course, but also Picasso, Cézanne … I am a painter, so I appreciate different details, techniques of different artists’ works …

[@ChateauLove]

Yes, come back! 😁🏰💖

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

[@danamoss67]

Thank you for this! When I was there last May I hurt my back so I didnt get to visit this one. I'm planning to see it next time. Renoir and Monet have been favorites since I was a teenager.

[@kalverda1]

Younwere so lucky when we came from Vancouver island the place was wall to wall with tourists and we could not get the panoramic affect at all. Nice to see this as it should be experienced.

[@stephn4085]

Thank you, I really enjoyed the visit to the Orangerie Gallery.

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

I like the first one the water lilies.

[@newday5]

Renoir and Monet another great vlog . It is a drizzling day here too so thank you for adding some culture and art. I was at a Monet inversion art display with his art on the ceiling,floors and ceiling set to music loved it .

[@paulabibb1116]

You know ,I almost think his rough draft paintings for water lilies should be in this museum , not in San Antonio Texas., so people can view the evolution of his water lilies work . As long as I can remember the rough drafts have been in the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio Texas.. Mrs. McNay hosted many prominent artists of her generation and according to my relatives, Monet spent time there. I am not sure if he painted the drafts there. put it is possible .Mrs. McNay's huge rambling mansion/villa , built to resemble the Alhambra Moorish palace in Spain. had several large ponds and fountain pools were full of pink water lilies. It was a' great place to play when we were kids. It is a wonderful worlds class museum now. Thanks you for posting a museum tour in France, his inspirational home.

[@ChateauLove]

This is so interesting. I would love to go there! 🏰💖

[@davidnicholson6406]

McNay is wonderful!

[@nikbull1258]

I used to go to the Musee de la Momette ?spelling , also in Paris. They also had a large number of Monets (and a few Renoirs). There was also huge octagonal room full of water Lily paintings ceiling to floor and wall to wall. Just amazing to stand in that space. Is that museum still there? We’re talking almost 30 years ago. Maybe the contents have been transferred to L’Orangerie?!!

[@ChateauLove]

I think you are thinking of the Musée Marmottan and, yes, they still have some wonderful Monets! 🏰💖

[@CharlotteFairchild]

One day my friend Florence Seymour will have the same opportunities the men had. It is not too late for her great grandchildren. She was born in 2006. She painted 3000+paintings.

[@lisalarosa4546]

I love all these artists. I lived and worked in Washington D.C. for over 40 years. Whenever they would show these at the Smithsonian, I would go.

[@lindakellert1904]

Emotional!

[@tinekejoldersma]

When this was build, the paintings were loaned to another musea were I was lucky enough to see them with my kids. My oldest was only 5 when he tried to watch them through his eyelashes. Suddenly screaming out loud 'it are waterlillies, mom'. Making all laugh.

[@yvonnebark5576]

Kia Ora Vivienne thank you so much for taking us with you. Living so far away and with exchange rates I may not get there is person so this was wonderful and so interesting. Who knew the water lilies paintings were so big! Happy Easter

[@ChateauLove]

And to you. 🥰🏰💖

[@sheilaosullivan3056]

Thank you, Sheila. What a lovely thing to say. You have brightened my day! 🥰🏰💖

[@richaelblewett5068]

Many years ago, my mother and I traveled to Paris for the opening day of the Musee D'Orsay's celebration of Impressionist Painters. As an art student, it was like stepping straight into heaven.....unforgettable, for me. I just love the abandoned, almost hedonistic delve into the loveliness of color, nature, and humanness. Thanks for sharing your day at the museum with us.

[@ChateauLove]

So happy you could join me. 🥰🏰💖

[@Ron_Robertson]

That was beautifully done!

[@liesavillandre3481]

I was fortunate to see a Picasso exabyte at our local museum. What a thrill to see one of the masters up close. My dream would be to see the Louvre and all its glory. My faves are Picasso, Monet, and Vermeer.

Hello from Montreal. Thank you for sharing you visit to one of my favorite art museums in Paris. I love Claude Monet art. In my short trip to Paris in 2016 I visited most of museums with his works (musee Marmottan, musee D'Orsay, Louvre). And musee de l'Orangerie of course. Unforgettable experience. Hope to visit Paris again.🌷😊

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

Thanks for another wonderful video!

[@rhondathomas7952]

Matisse! I saw an Impressionist display at The Kimble Art Museum in Ft Worth Texas. Matisse is my fave of all the Impressionists.

[@crae3422]

Lovely place to be on a rainy day in Paris. Thanks for taking us along. One of my favorite museum memories is the Monet Exhibit at the Boston Museum of Art. Brilliant and a real lesson on perspective. That said, it is not possible for me to think of Monet without thinking of Turner. Turner may be classified as a "Romantic" but to me his later work is pure Impressionism. Can't help but wonder if we would have the Monet we have come to love without Turner's influence on his art. For example, compare Turner's 1846, "Going to the Ball," with Monet's 1904. "Houses of Parliment." Obviously Turner's later works are a favorite of mine. Thanks to you both for a lovely time pondering brush strokes and light.

[@ChateauLove]

Absolutely! I adore Turner, and you are quite right about his later works and his use of light. It’s magical. 🥰🏰💖

[@Sharon-Me]

One of my favorite artists would be Frederick Carl Frieseke an American Impressionist painter, he was also a member of the Giverny art colony. Thank you for the tour!

[@ChateauLove]

Oh yes!! He’s wonderful. Some of his work reminds me of early Klimt. Beautiful. 🥰🏰💖

[@Valerie-xj9tb]

Monet and Renoir are my favorites

[@jfs59nj]

The Orangerie is my favorite museum in Paris. The Monet galleries are perfect. Monet designed them.

[@ChateauLove]

I agree! 🥰🏰💖

[@edwardulrich1515]

Breathtaking, Vivienne! Merci.

[@IRSA1]

Verelegantly put together and reflective of your admiration for the impressionist movement. Yet, somehow, I have always struggled to be touched or impressed by those paintings which often seem to be a touch clumsy and formulaic and are only saved by an interesting blending of appealing colours. There are so many more beautiful paintings by gifted artists from all over the world, like the Spanish , Dutch or Italian masters who truly touch my heart and soul.

[@maryann6884]

Hey. She’s in Paris and I’m not. So grateful to Vivienne for sharing her visit. Splendid!👍👍

[@ChateauLove]

I agree with you completely, and yet I love them all… the old Masters, the Impressionists, the Expressionists, the Symbolists, the pre-raphaelites, and even some contemporary works. The eye of the beholder is a wondrous thing indeed! 🏰💖

[@lindagage7315]

Such beautiful work❤

[@stephn4085]

Hopefully going to Giverny in May - my second visit.

[@ChateauLove]

Lucky you!!! 🥰🏰💖
