House Furnes ( French: Maison Fournaise ) is a restaurant and museum located on the Seine Island under the name of the impressionist island in Chatou , west of Paris .
In 1857, Alphonse Furnes bought land in Chatou to open boat rental, a restaurant and a small hotel for tourists.
The restaurant was a favorite place of Pierre-Auguste Renoir , who often painted scenes in the restaurant, including Canoeists 'Breakfast (1875) and Rowers ' Breakfast (1880-1881), as well as several portraits of the Furnes family members and landscape paintings of the surroundings.
Among the regular visitors to the restaurant were famous writers and impressionist artists , and later Fauvists - Guy de Maupassant , A. Sisley , B. Morisot , Claude Monet , Maurice de Vlaminck , Andre Derain , Henri Matisse and others.
Closed in 1906, House Furnes was rebuilt in 1990 at the initiative of the Chatou city council with the support of American private foundations of friends of French art.
