The gardens are divided into small spaces enclosed by hedges which constitute as many little "worlds". Each of the greenery rooms has its own harmony of colours and shapes. Sometimes an exuberance of perennial flowers, sometimes neatness of trimmed clumps.

Taken together they create an intimate, somehow secret, garden landscape where it is pleasant to stroll.

Museum's entrance in Summer

The central alley with its wisteria-covered arches leading to the museum entrance refers to Claude Monet's garden.

However the Musée d'Art Américain gardens have their own unique personality.

Behind the museum a large meadow full of poppies, cornflowers and daisies opens on the hill. It is the ideal place to come and paint in the impressionist manner.
