At the height of his fame, the “Father of Victory” retired from politics in 1919, where he spent the last ten years of his life.
Between the ocean and the fisherman’s house he was renting, Georges Clemenceau, a great friend of Claude Monet, took on the challenge of creating an “impressionist garden” on the dune. Three types of garden surround the fisherman’s house: an Impressionist-inspired garden in front of the house, facing the sea and also known as the “flower terrace”; a Pointillist-inspired shrub garden (the tops of small, pointed shrubs shiver in the wind) to the east; and finally, an “English” garden, also known as the “flower enclosure” to the north.
