    Our favorite museum from our trip. The vibe is so much nicer than some of the bigger ones like the Louvre. The displays and audio guide were so organized. We learned so much about Rodin and his work. It also has gorgeous gardens and a cafe with nice clean bathrooms. The gift shop had unique items to bring home too. Highly recommend!

    Magnificent museum dedicated to Rodin. The building is a timeline showcasing the evolution of the artist and his life. It has his sculptures, some of his collections including Van Gogh. Outside the garden is simply lovely to spend a sunny afternoon, drinking coffee and admiring the sculptures. It’s not crowded which allows you to fully enjoy the peaceful garden for as long as you want.
