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

The paintings "Les Nympheas" or "Water Lilies" by Claude Monet are legendary, but did you know they are also monumental? The Orangery of the Louvre (Musée de L'Orangerie) has been dedicated to housing these exceptional paintings, as well as many other late 19th/early 20th century masters. Let's go see them for ourselves!
Oscar-Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it.

ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our daughter, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

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. 🥰💖💖

[@maryannaarnold3817]

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

[@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]

💖💖💖

[@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! 🥰🏰💖

[@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.🎨🖼🎨

[@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

[@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

[@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. 🥰🏰💖

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

[@gayejani350]

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

[@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! 🏰💖

[@michaelw.8614]

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

[@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 😍😘

[@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!

[@Monitschka]

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

[@deborrastrom8559]

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

[@jaysmith8199]

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

[@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

[@user-lz3bc3qe7g]

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! 🥰🏰💖

[@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. 🏰💖

[@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

[@beautyallaroundme724]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@suzannerogers7316]

My favs -Renoir and Monet. Those huge water lily murals were a dream! Thank you!

[@Velvetnoirestar]

Monet and Renoir ❤️❤️🇦🇺

[@yolandalitton1489]

Thank you....just what I needed today.

[@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.

[@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 🏰💖

[@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.

[@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! 🥰🏰💖

[@claudiamann7111]

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour. Such beautiful art. Perfect thing to do on a rainy day.

[@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! 🏰💖

[@trinitystarclararose7118]

My favourite artist is Renoir, and then Monet. I was fortunate enough to see an exhibition at the national art gallery in Ottawa Ontario, the capital city of Canada of Monet and Renoir many years ago.

[@ChateauLove]

I love Renoir, too!🥰💖💖

[@irenemulcahy2495]

Magical and so was the background music. Thank you Vivienne for taking us to view the wonderful artworks of the gallery.💖💫🪷No matter weather it’s sunny or raining Paris always looks beautiful. 🌞🌂

[@ChateauLove]

I agree. Something about it seems to twinkle in all seasons and weather! 🥰🏰💖

[@lindacox3062]

Loved this video, thanks for sharing. Monet hands down, two large prints in my living room.

[@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!!

[@LA-jf1zn]

Happy Easter to you and your family. 🐰🐇🐣🐥

[@charmainejfritz]

Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family. Love from AUS 🥰

[@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.

[@denisefazio6708]

It was like being there! Loved it!

[@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. 🥰🏰💖

[@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. 🥰🏰💖

[@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.

[@marilynmiller8182]

[@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.

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. 🥰🏰💖

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.🌷😊

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! 🏰💖

[@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.
