Musée Rodin - le jardin du Hôtel Biron



Musée Rodin


This verdant scene is in the garden of Hôtel Biron, 
the site of Musée Rodin, and sits in the shadow of Les Invalides.


This quiet place in Paris is worth a visit 
to see the sculptures of Rodin 
as well as some of Camille Claudel.  
The garden includes some of Rodin's most recognizable 
works including The Thinker and The Gates of Hell.

  1. If we were to have such a clean an orderly managed park, I would be amazed. But I am sure in your country, such a clean and tidy park is normal.
