Monet left his water lily masterpieces to France and he wanted them installed in the Orangery at the Place de la Concorde at the center of Paris. Many events occurred to keep this from happening (including WWII) but it is finished now and it is a major museum in the French system with the Renoirs, Cezannes and a few Modiglianis (my favorite).
This guy was their collector, dealer and friend.
The beautiful Place de la Concorde.
This is my buddy who designed all the major gardens in France.
