Musée Rodin

Across the road from les Invalides and just into the district of Saint-Germain is the MUSÉE RODIN, housed in the Hôtel Biron, one of the old aristocratic houses of the left bank. These old houses present mere blank walls to the outside world, but within the enclosure is a delightful, airy house with vast French windows opening the whole place up to a quiet, secluded country garden. Rodin’s sculptures are displayed in both house and garden, and it’s a place not to miss. I particularly like the small marbles, like The Hand of God (below).
