The story

Monet loved those cabins perched on cliffs. Wherever he found one, he painted it. And there were plenty to find. These were customs houses, built when Napoleon ordered a strict trade blockade, made to keep an eye out for smugglers along the coast.

Later most got taken over by fishermen. And later still, they became Monet's personal obsession on the cliffs of Normandy.
