Island of Impressionist History

Ile des Impressionnistes
Paris 78400

The Ile des Impressionnistes of Chatou gives visitors an enjoyable experience of art history that evokes the spirit of the impressionist movement simply by its physical characteristics; Monet, Manet, and Pissaro were among those fascinated by the play of light on the water surrounding this litte island. Both the Musée Fournaise and a restaurant of traditional French cuisine (http://www.restaurant-fournaise.fr) today occupy an old boat-building workshop on the island. It also holds lovely gardens to stroll through, a center of contemporary art known as the cneai, and a second restaurant and tea room called Les Rives de la Courtille.
