The gardens surrounding the lovely Musée Rodin are just spectacular in the summer. Formerly the Hôtel Biron, a small museum that is one of my very favorites in Paris.
This is one of my favourite places in Paris. I always go to Musee Rodin. But i go there to admire the work of Camille Claudel. She's my alltime favourite artist.
These lovely photos makes me want to go there right now.
Don't go on a Tuesday!!! Our one day in Paris from our last cruise was a Tuesday...no museums were open!!! Tuesday would be a great day to grab that book that you want to read by the fountain!!!
I do remember going to the Rodin museum years ago, the first time I was fortunate enough to be there!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

This garden is spectacular. I went to Giverny and found the most amazing roses. Carla
I'm not really a jardin person, but I like your pictures.
