In search of nature but also modernity, the artists set up their easels in forests and gardens along the Seine and Oise rivers, on Normandy’s coasts and in the heart of Paris’ districts. These settings and landscapes, many of which remain unchanged, bear witness to the greatest Impressionist artists and their heirs: Monet, Renoir, Degas, Manet, Morisot, Pissarro, Boudin, Caillebotte, Sisley, Van Gogh and many others.
