Claude Monet's Grave

One of my bucket list items has been accomplished with a recent trip to Giverny, France. Seeing Claude Monet’s studio and two gardens was a highlight of my France trip. Being within an hour or so of Paris, it made it well worth the visit.  Our guide mentioned that Monet’s grave was at the church cemetery in town. It was well worth the 15 minute walk from his home. The church was open and it was surreal to walk inside as well as the grounds around his unassuming grave.
