If you want a quiet, lush place to hang out for an hour, you have to visit the Gardens at the Rodin Museum. The price is only about one Euro and you can see The Thinker and many other pieces of artwork. The fountain area is especially beautiful. If you want to spend more time and money, visit the Chateau.

Visiting this museum gives you a sensation of awe. How can someone acheive such perfection? If, as Edison said, genius is 10 % inspiration and 90 % perspiration I rate Auguste Rodin at 200 % because I could certainly build the sweat but never the genius. Artists are certainly Humanity's gift to itself...they renew your values of beauty and well... More

One of my favorite sites. Museum undergoing renovation so "hotel" partially open in April. Magic is outside, much bigger than I expected. pack a picnic lunch and relax and enjoy the gardens. Most of statues you are familiar with are outside in the garden. Excellent info about origins of museum and history of Rodin also outside. More

We were so pleased to find such a charming and peaceful little cafe in the beautiful gardens of Musee Rodin. Do not usually enjoy museum cafes, due to their institutional atmosphere, but this one was simply perfect for a light lunch in the lovely gardens. More

A beautiful and typical old home with magnificent gardens serve as the setting for the majestic works of Rodin. From the Thinker, pondering in the garden, to the many other sculptures of Rodin which are placed in a very natural setting, you will enjoy the work of this great master in the manner in which they were expected. It is... More
