I finally visited the Musée Rodin! I know, I know … this museum is on the list of many tourists who visit Paris for the first time! I honestly don´t know why it took me so long to go, since it is located in the 7ème, near Les Invalides, a place that I usually go.
This time I decided not to leave the town without seeing Musée Rodin and set up the visit for my last day, June 14th. So I left home early, around 9:30, in order to get the garden of sculptures empty. The rain also contributed to a super quiet visit with only a few people around. I bought the tickets for the gardens only (€ 5.30), because I still had other places to go before heading back to Brazil.
The first thought that crossed my mind when I ran into the garden full of flowers and perfectly pruned trees surrounding some of the most spectacular sculptures was “why I haven´t come here yet?” followed by a ” this city never ceases to amaze me!”. Seriously, Paris has the power to move me! The rain suddenly stopped and I could walk across the green area with no hurry!
Despite having not entered the building and visited the complete art collection, I can tell you it was totally worth it! The flowers were beautiful and the fountain was on. But probably during Winter season it doesn’t look that good . Keep that in mind when scheduling your trip and listing the tours.
A good tip is to combine a visit to Musée Rodin and Les Invalides on the same day. From the Rodin’s garden we have a beautiful view of the Église du Dôme where the tomb of Napoleon is located.
