Merci, Rodin!

 I decided to go to the Musée Rodin, thanks to my mother mentioning it in an email.  Et bon dieu, I am happy that I did.  The museum itself is in a lovely house, not too overwhelming in size, and full of great statues and castings. 

 The jardin is even more impressive, and also full of magnificent sculptures, like Le Penseur.


I would definitely place this at the top of my "Things to See" list, especially if you are a tourist.  It is much less crowded than something so advertised as the Louvre, and the gardens are the prettiest I have seen yet.
