Maison Fournaise

About

This building, which originally began as a place to rent boats by the riverside, has long basked in the sunlight and wind cherished by the Impressionist painters. Renoir's paintings The Oarsmen's Luncheon and Luncheon of the Boating Party still carry the atmosphere of this space. The ripples of the Seine flowing outside the window reflect on the floor, and the laughter of the figures in the paintings still seems to linger here. Standing in the middle of the hall, the light seeping onto the table in the painting feels as though it is flowing along with time itself.
