travels in France

I'll talk about European travel, museums, churches, castles, and other famous and not-so-well-known places around France. bon voyage!

Musee Rodin

“The Thinker” is one of the most duplicated sculptures, but most people probably could not name the museum that claims it.

Musée Rodin was a fantastic collection of the most expressive sculptures I have yet seen. There is an outside wing filled with pieces like “Le Penseur,” and especially on a gorgeous day like the one when we were there, the sculpture garden is a must.
There are also several rooms inside containing works like “The Kiss” (a fairly erotic piece), and an elaborate and beautiful sculpture of hands. This was definitely worth the 3 euro admission price.
