En 1884, Claude Monet arrive \u00e0 Bordighera en train. Il y reste trois mois et peint des dizaines de tableaux : palmiers, jardins, oliviers, les villas de la Belle \u00c9poque et le vieux village face \u00e0 la mer. Aujourd\u2019hui encore, on peut retrouver bon nombre des lieux qu\u2019il repr\u00e9senta.<\/p>\n

La Pension Anglaise et la ville des \u00e9trangers<\/h2>\n

Monet loge \u00e0 la Pension Anglaise, d\u2019o\u00f9 partent ses explorations, ses pens\u00e9es et ses lettres. Loin de la foule \u00e9l\u00e9gante, il observe la vie mondaine, assiste au carnaval et au spectacle de la mer. \u00c0 cette \u00e9poque, Bordighera est pleine de personnalit\u00e9s internationales, comme l\u2019architecte fran\u00e7ais Charles Garnier, qui y construit sa villa et plusieurs b\u00e2timents.<\/p>\n

Le jardin Moreno, \u00ab pure f\u00e9erie \u00bb<\/h2>\n

Ce qui l\u2019enchante surtout, c\u2019est le jardin Moreno, propri\u00e9t\u00e9 du consul de France Francesco Moreno. Il occupait un vaste espace du front de mer jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la vieille ville et \u00e9tait c\u00e9l\u00e8bre dans toute l\u2019Europe pour l\u2019\u00e9quilibre entre plantes locales et essences exotiques. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une recommandation, Monet parvient \u00e0 y entrer, et il en reste \u00e9merveill\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00ab Un jardin comme cela est indescriptible, c\u2019est de la pure f\u00e9erie, toutes les plantes du monde poussent l\u00e0 en pleine terre. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Claude Monet, lettre \u00e0 Alice Hosched\u00e9, 5 f\u00e9vrier 1884<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Aujourd\u2019hui, une partie de ces jardins est d\u00e9di\u00e9e au peintre : ce sont les Giardini Monet, le long de la via Romana.<\/p>\n

Avec les yeux de Monet<\/h2>\n

Le long de la via Romana, trois \u00ab M \u00bb marqu\u00e9s au sol indiquent les endroits o\u00f9 Monet a peint. En se pla\u00e7ant dessus, on retrouve ses cadrages : entre palmiers et plantes exotiques apparaissent la Villa Etelinda, l\u2019actuel Museo Bicknell, Bordighera Alta et la mont\u00e9e de la Villa Regina Margherita.<\/p>\n

Depuis le jardin de la Fondazione Pompeo Mariani, dans la vieille ville, on admire certaines des plus importantes vues qu\u2019il a peintes. Le peintre Pompeo Mariani acheta le terrain en 1909 justement pour le lien du lieu avec Monet, et les oliviers que Monet repr\u00e9senta y poussent encore, aujourd\u2019hui inscrits parmi les arbres monumentaux d\u2019Italie.<\/p>\n

Pendant son s\u00e9jour, Monet s\u2019aventura aussi dans l\u2019arri\u00e8re-pays, \u00e0 Dolceacqua, o\u00f9 il peignit le vieux pont et le ch\u00e2teau des Doria.<\/p>\n

L\u2019itin\u00e9raire \u00ab Sur les traces de Monet \u00bb<\/h2>\n

Pour refaire son chemin, il y a l\u2019itin\u00e9raire Sur les traces de Monet<\/a> : il part de l\u2019office de tourisme IAT et passe par les lieux que le peintre fr\u00e9quenta et peignit, avec la carte illustr\u00e9e, la trace GPX \u00e0 t\u00e9l\u00e9charger et le r\u00e9cit de Pietro, le gar\u00e7on qui lui servit de guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
