Simply entitled Claude Monet (1840-1926), the exhibit at the Grand Palais on the Champs Elysées will put almost 200 works of the much-loved impressionist painter on display.
Richard Thompson, the exhibition's British co-curator, it was the largest single collection of Monets the world has ever seen, and is the first major Monet retrospective in France since 1980.
