Musée Rodin

One of our favourite cultural attractions, the Rodin Museum is both a sublime museum and one of the city’s most relaxing green spots with its lovely garden sprinkled with sculptures and shade trees. Rooms on two floors of this 18th-century residence display extraordinarily vital bronze and marble sculptures by Rodin, including casts of some of his most celebrated works: The Hand of God,The Burghers of Calais (Les Bourgeois de Calais),Cathedral, that perennial crowd-pleaser The Thinker (Le Penseur) and the incomparable The Kiss (Le Baiser). There are also some 15 works by Camille Claudel (1864–1943), sister of the writer Paul Claudel and Rodin’s mistress.
