La malédiction de Giverny
Abstract
Giverny is a Norman village that for more than forty-three years (1883 to 1926) was the principal residence of leading Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Giverny is presented as an extraordinary creation of a great artist; it is imbued with an idealized, romantic image that feeds the myth of an enchanted garden that everyone must go see. The authors examine the reality of a place torn between tourism development and the welfare of its residents. It’s undoubtedly a place to see, but is it a place to live?
