3 bedroom house

Nestled in a peaceful bend of the iconic River Seine, just steps away from its serene banks, lies the village of Vétheuil, affectionately referred to as "the other Giverny." This enchanting corner of the French Vexin is celebrated not only for its picturesque landscapes but also as the retreat of Claude Monet, one of the undisputed masters of Impressionism.

Here, at the heart of this idyllic setting, stands a magnificent residence, originally built in 1784 and once home to the artist Edmond Collignon (1822-1890). A disciple of the legendary Eugène Delacroix and Paul Delaroche, Collignon left an indelible mark on his era with his artistic contributions to the prestigious Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire, the Tribunal de Commerce in Paris, the ceilings of Lyon’s Hôtel de Ville, and, of course, the ceilings of this very home, showcasing his distinctive craftsmanship. This artistic legacy permeates every corner of the property, where history and art are in perfect harmony, creating an atmosphere like no other.
