Renoir Walk, Guernsey

Renoir Walk, Guernsey

A Renoir Walk has been created, by Art for Guernsey to commemorate the French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir and showcase how the island inspired some of his greatest works.

Located in the Moulin Huet valley on the island’s south coast, the Renoir Walk is a short, self-guided trail of the locations Renoir painted during a summer holiday in 1883.

During a month on Guernsey he painted 15 paintings, mainly views of Moulin Huet bay and beach. 

The Renoir Walk is marked by five empty picture frames, which are placed in the exact spots where Renoir worked on his own paintings.
